"If a year ago [Prime Minister] Plamen Oresharski had behaved as well as he did now, if he is (sic!) being pressured. in the way in which it is now obvious that the BSP [Bulgarian Socialist Party], the DPS[Movement for Rights and Freedoms] and Ataka have pressured him, he could be a candidate to an office in the interim government, and also in our government.
A year ago, in financial circles Oresharski was pointed, and I personally liked him as well, as a financial expert, but... he didn't show any of his qualities as a leader of the Council of Ministers."
Former Prime Minister and center-right GERB leader Boyko Borisov commenting on outgoing Prime Minister Plamen Orersharski, who is due to stand down next week, but who refused to do so in the summer of 2013 amid mass protests calling for the government's resignation.
Earlier, Borisov described Oresharski as a "pseudo-Prime Minister" and a "pseudo-expert", a claim he also repeated during Friday's interview.
Also on Friday, when asked what office he would give to Oresharski if entitled to do so, he answered: "Finance Minister!"
Borisov has been a staunch critic of policies of both the current socialist-liberal government, headed by Oresharski, and the so-called "three-way coalition" (2005-2009) preceding conservative GERB's term, where Oresharski had the Finance portfolio.
