Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) floor leader Delyan Peevski Tuesday came with a strong reaction to President Rumen Radev's challenge of the constitutionality of the election of two new Constitutional Court judges, called on the head of state to resign and set up his own party, and called him "a pro-Russian president".
Peevski said: "The discussion about the Constitutional Court is over. Two worthy candidates have been elected and will be sworn in on Friday. There is no discussion about it. If President Radev has dignity, he should resign, establish his own party and stop diverting attention with closed matters."
"Radev is simply announcing his March 3 project at the moment, and that is why he is trying to go to war with the Euro-Atlantic majority, this pro-Russian president," Peevski said.
The MRF Floor Leader urged the President to resign this very day and launch his project rather than hide behind his immunity. Peevski argued that the President was afraid to stand as a leader, and that is why he would "yet again put forward some yappy dog, as he had done before".
In Peevski’s words, Radev is afraid to set up a party "because he is afraid [of losing] his immunity, the full immunity he currently has”. The MRF Floor Leader also raised the issue of the President's relationship with the Prosecutor General and asked whether there are any pending, unsolved, or suspended cases against him.
"The President should stop pursuing comfort and come out and give answers. I think that the spotlight should be on the Presidency, this dark institution brimming with cash," Peevski said in a press release.
