The portfolio of the new Bulgarian EU Commissioner is the first major failure of the GERB cabinet and many are to follow, former Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev, said Saturday.

The leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) was in the town of Parvomai for the celebrations of the 110 anniversary of the socialist movement there.

Stanishev says the portfolio of International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response is the most insignificant one from political and economic point of view, placing Bulgaria in the side-lines of European policies.

The former PM further said he is not at all nervous about the audit of his cabinet and charges against former ministers.

Stanishev further accused the Members of the Parliament from the ruling Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party in illiteracy and Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov, of utter incompetence, referring to the Friday budget debates in the parliamentary hall, giving as example their, according to him, confusion regarding the definition of fiscal reserve and State budget.
