Boyko Borisov, leader of center-right party GERB and former Prime Minister, has argued that Bulgaria’s next government should have at least 10 Muslim Deputy Ministers.
Speaking Sunday in the southern village of Pripek, Kardzhali District, he vowed to secure at least 10 Muslim Deputy Ministers, provided that GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria) won 121 seats in Parliament at the early elections on October 5.
"Bulgarian Muslims should be a bridge between parties, not a dividing line,” Borisov declared, as cited by Sega daily.
He explained that the GERB party would strive to cooperate with all political formations if it won a majority of seats in Parliament, especially in the first two years in office, as the country needed stability.
"I am not speaking about coalitions here; the elections will show us how to act. Muslims have to take part in the government and we are on the lookout for highly educated Muslims,” he noted, adding that liberal party DPS (Movement for Rights and Freedoms) was better equipped with Muslim professionals in a wide range of spheres.
In Pripek, Borisov inaugurated a football pitch built with BGN 45 000 from the subsidy of GERB, after which he headed for the village of Gorno Kirkovo to attend an inauguration ceremony at a reservoir repaired with a total of BGN 24 0000 from GERB’s subsidy.
