"After all, at a certain stage, a necessary evil for me. Because when it comes to business in Bulgaria there are circumstances one has to take into consideration."
Bulgarian businessman Tsvetan Vasilev describing his previous relations with controversial MP Delyan Peevski in an interview with TV7.
On the end of their partnership, he said:
"Peevski has his qualities and I was really wrong to think as a person whom I helped much to develop he should be loyal to me. This turned out to be a mistake and I turned out to be a na?ve, post-middle-aged man."
He also commented on relations between politicians and businesses:
"We have a reverse pyramid in our country. Instead of businesses and economy, we have put politics at the fundament and this is why we are tilting all the time... Anyone coming to power tries to show business is nobody without him. This is the biggest mistake."
