Tsvetan Tsvetanov, former Interior Minister and head of the election headquarters of center-right party GERB, has rejected claims that he would be appointed Prime Minister if GERB won the May 12 parliamentary elections.
In a Monday interview for TV7, Tsvetanov assured that GERB would allow no mistakes in its staff policy during a new term in office because the party had already accumulated a sufficient database of people with governing skills.
He argued that one of the strong points of the former center-right government headed by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov had been its ability to admit mistakes, one of them being the support for the former Mayor of Varna.
Fourth-term Mayor of Varna, Kiril Yordanov, resigned on March 6, amidst mass protests against the corruption in the local governance.
Tsvetanov, as cited by dnevnik.bg, went on to say that a new term in office of the GERB government would retain the flat tax rate and would treat job creation and investments in energy efficiency as priority goals.
He emphasized that Simeon Djankov would not get a new term in office as Finance Minister if GERB won the elections.
Bulgaria's former Interior Minister suggested that the low incomes of people had been one of the weak points of the GERB government, attributing the situation to the aim of the government to maintain financial stability and restore the confidence of the EU authorities.
He emphasized, however, that Bulgaria's EU funds absorption had increased from 1% to 38% during GERB's term in office.
Tsvetanov further noted hat Bulgaria would get a total of BGN 32 B in EU funding for education, healthcare, innovations, culture and agriculture during the next programming period.
He noted that he had no information about a meeting between alleged mafia crime boss Alexei Petrov and the former Agriculture Minister Miroslav Naydenov, adding that the multiple postponement of the trial against Petrov was the reason why no verdict had been reached yet.
