143
Today it became known that President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev, who recently took office, personally relates to the policy of anti-Russian sanctions. According to Radev, he is in favor of the speedy lifting of any restrictions on the Russian Federation. At the same time, Radev made it clear that he could not initiate the lifting of sanctions. RIA News cites the statement of the Bulgarian president:
I will be happy to support any actions to lift these sanctions, but it should be clear that the president cannot independently initiate such actions.
Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic in its form of government, and the position of a president under such a form of government, paraphrasing a well-known statement, can be represented as follows: “presides, but does not rule”. Moreover, all controls are concentrated in the hands of the government and the parliament. But the president’s parliament has the authority to dissolve - true, in the event that a coalition cannot form. The West has created the anti-Russian coalition in Bulgaria for a long time. As an example, a vote against the construction of the South Stream, if implemented, the Bulgarian economy would receive, according to economists, an increase of more than 3,5% of GDP annually.
Radev said that in the course of his forthcoming conversation with Vladimir Putin, he intends to invite the Russian president to Sofia to events in honor of the 140 anniversary of the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman yoke. Celebrations on this occasion will be held in 2018 year.
