site.btaMECh Oppose Military Aid to Ukraine, Party Leader Vasilev Says

"I think that the Council of Ministers is provoking the National Assembly by seeking such a mandate, given that this Council of Ministers itself may soon be a thing of the past," MECh (Morality, Unity, Honour) Party Chair Radostin Vasilev said here on Wednesday.

He was commenting on a request by caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev for an express mandate from Parliament for signing a Security Cooperation Agreement between Bulgaria and Ukraine.

"We have not sent a formal letter to the Council of Minister stating our position because we oppose military aid to Ukraine," the MP said further. "In Parliament, we are interested in policies that are important to Bulgarian society," he added.
