The leader of the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and former Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev, says the cabinet is leading a policy aiming at liquidating Bulgarian science and education.

Stanishev spoke Saturday during a round table titled "Education and Training for the Future. The Perspectives of Bulgaria 2020," organized by the BSP Council for Education, Science, Youth and Sports.

In the Black Sea capital Varna, where the event is taking place, Stanishev blamed the Finance Minister from the cabinet of the ruling center-right citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party, Simeon Djankov, for being the culprit behind the upcoming extinction of scientific research in Bulgaria.

"To me Djankov is a janissary. Someone who came to Bulgaria for a couple of years, to up his CV, write in it he has been a minister and a deputy Prime Minister, and then go on with his experiments to some Third World country. And the sooner, the better," the Socialist leader declared.

In addition to Djankov's resignation, Stanishev demanded the one of Education Minister, Sergey Ignatov, over the fact the Constitutional Court recently repealed a dozen key provisions of the controversial academic degree system reform bill much vaunted by Ignatov.
