site.btaMRF Will Work to Dismantle Nationalist-backed Government Coalition

Sofia, November 3 (BTA) - The Central Council of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) has obliged the party's central operative bureau, the regional and municipal councils, all party structures, MPs, MEPs and MRF's representatives in the local authorities to conduct a policy to dismantle the government coalition with the participation of the nationalists parties. The decision was taken at Friday's meeting of the Council, said MRF leader Mustafa Karadayi.

To implement the policy, the MRF representatives will use all democratic, political and parliamentary means including a vote of no-confidence in the government.

"The participation of the nationalists in the government is a slap on Bulgaria's democratic face, it undermines its EU future and is a threat to the country's stability. Hate speech, hatred and aggression are in power," said Karadayi.

It is time for decisive action to remove the nationalists and all who are with them from power, said Karadayi.

The MRF leader said that next week the MRF will hold talks with the Bulgarian Socialist Party on a possible vote of no-confidence in the government. The reformatting of the government is inevitable whether through early elections or in another way. According to Karadayi, the EU Presidency cannot serve as an alibi for any government, lest a government with the nationalists.

Also, the MRF's Central Council decided that its representatives at ALDE's annual meeting in 2018 will raise the following issues: more Europe of unity, the place and the future of the Balkans modelled after the Bulgarian ethnic model and making Europe, the Balkans and Bulgaria a zone free of nationalism and radicalism.
