Bulgaria is bound to have no implementable strategy for national development due to the low grade of its political class, reflected Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov Sunday.
In an interview for the K2 Radio, Borisov was asked about the possibility of development of a unifying "national doctrine" or "strategy," in given that many countries have the like, and given that recently inaugurated President Rosen Plevneliev vowed to work in that direction.
"There is no way we can have a national doctrine given the ethos of undercover agreements and cliques ramant in Bulgarian politics," confessed Borisov.
"Even if we develop on paper a strategy for 2020 or 2030, it will remain on paper only, for with this political class that we have now, no consensus can be reached," said the Bulgarian PM.
In his answers, he was chiefly referring to politicians from the main opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party, who were allegedly best exemplifying the deviant ways described by the PM.
More specifically, Borisov was skeptical of plans of President Rosen Plevneliev, elected as a candidate by his own GERB party, to achieve a real consensus.
"Politicians go to consult with the President not so much in order to engage in a substancal debate, but to have their opinionated positions heard by the media," commented Borisov.
In his campaign and during the first days of his presidency, which started last Sunday, January 22, Plenveliev had vowed to be a president open to dialogue to all political actors and looking towards developing a thorough strategy for Bulgaria's development.
