The Bulgarian Socialist Party issues Monday a declaration protesting against the "threats" and "insults" against it by the Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov.
“The rude insults by the leader of the ruling majority – such as “a gang of criminals”, “unfortunates”, “impertinent” - offend the 750 000 Bulgarian voters who supported the BSP in the July elections,” the declaration states.
In an interview for Nova TV Sunday night, Borisov said the “former Communist Party” should have been banned because of its historical crimes, and because of the trouble it had created for Bulgaria over the last 20 years.
The declaration reminds that the BSP is a member of the Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists.
“Such words present an indirect threat,” the Socialists state reminding Borisov that the party that their organization is a descendant of was banned in 1924 but has outlived many of its political adversaries.
“We are not going to comment on the political amnesia of Borisov, who used to be a member of the same party by the beginning of the 1990s,” the declaration reads.
“We are sorry that the Party Congress of the BSP affected the mood of the boss of the governing party. Clearly, the reason for that is our analysis about the emerging right-wing, authoritarian, and populist character of his rule,” the Socialists have declared vowing to continue to stress leftist policies and social issues.
