The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has rejected claims that it is conducting secret negotiations with President Rosen Plevneliev and the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) party on how to make Bulgaria's current EU Commissioner, Kristalina Georgieva, the next Prime Minister.
In an interview for the Focus news agency, Yanev argued Saturday that secret talks had been underway for the past 30-40 days between DPS leader Lyutvi Mestan, BSP leader Sergey Stanishev, and Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev on the possibilities of making Kristalina Georgieva Bulgaria's next Prime Minister.
The RZS leader suggested that Plamen Oresharski, BSP's official candidate for the post of Prime Minister, was a stool pigeon, while the actual nominee of the BSP-DPS-Plevneliev union was Bulgaria's current EU Commissioner.
In a Saturday media statement, BSP emphasized that it had already announced that it backed the nomination of Plamen Orseharski for Prime Minister, adding that the former Finance Minister had experience in governing and a strategy for coping with the difficult situation in the country.
BSP noted that Oresharski would achieve an increase in Bulgarians' incomes through a set of clearly defined policies.
The socialist party described Yanev's allegations as an absolute lie, adding that former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, fearing that he would lose the upcoming May 12 parliamentary elections, was using the RZS leader to disseminate false claims and insinuations in a bid to skew the vote.
BSP stated that it would never resort to Yanev's primitivist tactics because "the practice of disseminating lies and false signals has nothing to do with the real political debate and must be left in the past."
The socialists called on Bugarian President Rosen Plevneliev to distance himself unambiguously from the libelous statements of Yanev because his silence would otherwise be interpreted as a sign that he was part of the plot to manipulate the May 12 elections.
