Daniel Mitov Ready for Foreign Minister Role Amid Geopolitical Test in Bulgaria
Daniel Mitov, Deputy Chairman of GERB, has expressed his readiness to assume the position of Acting Foreign Minister
Bulgarian Prime Minister is not concerned with the political comments against him and his party that were discovered in the Twitter page of Yuliana Plevnelieva, the wife of Bulgaria's new President Rosen Plevneliev.
"In our party, we do not get involved in the people's personal relations. She has three children and the family is living fine, so everything is okay. Bulgarians voted for Rosen Plevneliev in the presidential elections, not for his wife. I do not have the honor of knowing her," Borisov told Nova Tv on Thursday.
"This is democracy. I accept it," the Prime Minister further commented on the first lady's political views. "I am doing well without a first lady and I do not need one. I believe that the head of state will also cope," he added. Borisov is currently single.
"We do not need a Boykometer, we need a Boyko-launcher," Plevnelieva tweeted on November 18 2010, as Bulgarian media discovered after her husband's inauguration. Plevneliev was endorsed by Borisov's centrist-right GERB party. She referred to the Boykometer that Bulgarian bloggers created in 2010, a tool measuring thelevel of fulfillment of promises and the adherence of Borisov - inspired by Obameter.
"Dozens of stray dogs are happily barking...they are celebrating Fandakova's victory," Plevnelieva tweeted on October 23 2011 after incumbent Mayor of Sofia, GERB's Yordanka Fandakova, was reelected.
Plevnelieva, an IT expert, has directed some of her comments towards GERB's political opponent, former President Georgi Parvanov. "A man exists who is called Boyko Parvanov. He must be sad," she once wrote.
Mrs. Plevnelieva did not show up at January 22 inauguration ceremony of her husband. Her reluctance to make public appearances has raised eyebrows, as her opponents have accused her of negligence towards protocol rules and the representative function of the head of state.
However, Plevnelieva's newly discovered tweets have also made her growingly popular on Facebook, with many users claiming that she should have been elected President instead of her husband.
