Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) leader Atanas Atanasov called for tighter unity and joint decision-making bodies in the Democratic Bulgaria coalition at the 3rd National Conference of Yes, Bulgaria. He also said the youngest entity, Continue the Change, should be drawn closer. Bulgaria needs its united Euro-Atlantic forces, he said.
Established in April 2018, Democratic Bulgaria is a right-wing coalition made up of Yes, Bulgaria, the DSB and the Green Movement. Atanasov is co-leader of Democratic Bulgaria along with Yes, Bulgaria leader Hristo Ivanov.
Atanasov recalled that whenever the democratic forces were united, Bulgaria benefited from it; in contrast, when they were disunited, "the dark forces pulled us towards Asian despotism".
"When we ran separately in the 2017 elections, we did not enter parliament, and for four years the country was governed by GERB and the United Patriots, who promoted the interests of the Russian empire in Bulgaria," the DSB leader said. In his words, these moments in Bulgaria's most recent history should not be forgotten so as to prevent "the Russian streams from starting to flow once again".
