Borissov Warns Gabriel Over Ministerial Choices
Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, cautioned Mariya Gabriel, the next prime minister nominee, about potential challenges from five WCC ministers. He urged her to consider her power dynamics carefully. Borissov emphasized the risk of failure. "If you accept to be prime minister with the current finance minister, they will fail you in a few months. If you fail, we will collapse, because we will have no more tools in front of the voters," he said.
Borissov targeted finance minister Assen Vassilev, defense minister Todor Tagarev, minister of the economy Bogdan Bogdanov, sports minister Dimitar Iliev, and tourism minister Zaritsa Dinkova.
He also attempted to sow discord between WCC and DB, calling on Atanas Atanassov and Hristo Ivanov "to see what is happening on the sidelines, and how the WCC is usurping all power".
