The utmost goal of Bulgarian Socialist leader, Sergey Stanishev, is to become EU Commissioner, says archrival, Boyko Borisov, leader of the formerly-ruling opposition center-right GERB party.
According to former Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, the Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, wants to keep the current government, endorsed by them, in office until the elections for European Parliament in May 2014, and then nominate Stanishev for the EC post.
Borisov made the comments during a trip to the central city of Veliko Tarnovo Sunday, where he visited the renovated wing of the municipal hospital.
He further blasted Stanishev for lying about the ground breaking of the Russian "South Stream" gas pipeline in Bulgaria, saying it did not happen in the Danube town of Lom as scheduled because the current government was on its way to fail in its implementation.
"The failure is for the same reason as their failure in finishing the Trakiya highway on time – because BSP and their allies, the ethnic Turkish party, Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS, could not agree which one of them should steal the money," said the leader of Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB.
He also accused Stanishev of more lies in telling local mayors during a meeting with them that municipalities which were not led by GERB during the latter's term in office were fully isolated.
Borisov cited as proof large-scale infrastructure construction in cities having Socialist and DPS mayors when he was PM, such as Pernik, Shumen and Razgrad.
The GERB leader further blasted current Foreign Minister, Kristian Vigenin, for saying in an interview during a recent visit to the US that the Socialist-endorsed government was going to build a new reactor and Unit 7 at the country's only Nuclear Power Plant in the Danube town of Kozloduy.
"This means they are lying about this as well, because they are saying this in the US, but are telling Bulgarians they will restart the Russian-sponsored project for another Danube NPP in the town of Belene," he underscored.
