There are 20 gray cardinals that Bulgaria must get rid of
He is determined to change his country, considered the poorest and most corrupt in the entire EU, and his supporters see it as the last hope for Bulgaria. Kiril Petkov is the prime minister of a country where many people feel connected to Russia, and the government could fall apart at any moment, the article said. “Every day I think about it,” Petkov told Swiss Radio and Television correspondent Sarah Novotny, quoted by Deutsche Welle.

“42-year-old Kiril Petkov is probably the first Bulgarian prime minister to be trusted when he says his decision does not show any tolerance for corruption,” the Sofia report said. And the issue of corruption is not so complicated, according to Petkov. “With a population of 6.5 million in Bulgaria, there are twenty gray cardinals who are corrupt and we need to get rid of them,” he said.
However, corruption has long been everywhere, and Petkov must form a coalition with the former communists and the party of showman Slavi Trifonov, for the composition of the government. “We are working hard together and I would like us to be more constructive,” Petkov said. The Old Guard – powerful and corrupt It is in the material that it is recalled with a remark by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov on suspicion of the content of the bribe. Only a day later, however, he was released.
“In Bulgaria, the chief prosecutor does not support the work of the government, he is part of the old corrupt elite,” Petkov said. The chief prosecutor has enormous power and it will be very difficult for the prime minister to get rid of him – not without the help of former communists, who are part of the problem of corruption today, Sofia correspondence said.
The same is true in relations with Russia, which are close. Or as Petkov puts it: “He who is corrupt in Bulgaria often receives money from Russia.” The report says Petkov condemns Russian aggression: “It is appalling that there is such an aggressive regime in Europe that is forcing the people of Ukraine to wage war.”
The only solution to the war is for Russia to leave the whole of Ukraine. Everything else would mean a frozen conflict and disappearance …
The biggest danger for Petkov’s political destiny stems from the fact that many Bulgarians can barely make ends meet: inflation has reached 14 percent, all the rise – especially food. The government spends billions on the poorest, but that money opens up loopholes elsewhere. Many people are already blaming the law for not being necessary to them. And there are those who claim that the state is doing more for refugees. Petkov looks tired, but assures: “We have not betrayed our principles.” The question is how much time I have left. As it is not a small danger, it will also fail due to the intertwining of corruption, politics and the courts.
