Politics | November 12, 2001, Monday // 00:00

Petur Stoyanov who is running for second mandate gave the second press conference in the night of the presidential elections 1st round. “I expected that these elections will not be easy. We’ll for sure cross swords with Purvanov at the second round. I expected Purvanov to be second,” Stoyanov said. “Neither I, nor he will use dishonest means in our campaigns till next Sunday. Both of us have serious political biography and its is clear who support us,” he added. Stoyanov reiterated that the 2d round of the elections will represent a battle of political ideas and principles rather than a battle between personalities. He pointed out that he has never expected full support neither from the electorate of the Simeon II National Movement, nor from the United Democratic Forces one. Asked how he is going to make more people to vote at the second round, Stoyanov responded that he hopes to attract more people from the Simeon II National Movement. According to him, now that the two opponents are known, the United Democratic Forces supporters who did not vote at first round, will vote at the second round and will support him. “I fully rely on the support of the blue electorate,” he added.
