The lobbies around the Bulgarian Socialist Party have favored the reelection of Sergey Stanishev as Party Chair because he is manipulable.
This has been stated Monday by Tatyana Doncheva, a former MP from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, who ran against Stanishev in Sunday’s emergency Party Congress, and came in second in the leader contest.
“I heard from some of the leaders around Stanishev that my bid for the Chair position was ridiculous. The lobbies are powerful and influential enough, they would never allow a person they could not manipulate to head the party,” Doncheva told Darik Radio.
In her words, Stanishev did not play fairly by not resigning before the Party Congress. The issue for the election of a new leader was added to the Congress agenda on the spot during Sunday’s Congress of the Socialists after incumbent Sergey Stanishev said in his speech that he left his fate in the hands of the delegates.
In the makeshift elections that followed, Stanishev got 60% of the votes, Doncheva got 16%; the leader of the BSP left-wing Yanaki Stoilov got 15%, and Mladen Chervenyakov received 10%.
Doncheva said that even if a new leader had been elected by the delegates, the court would have refused to register them after that since the election of a new leader of the party had not been included in the agenda in advance.
