Photo by Open Parliament Top Story Ex Bulgarian President Challenges PM to Leadership Battle Bulgaria's former President, Georgi Parvanov, vows to lead a heavy battle with Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and his weak, inactive and detrimental cabinet and rule. Parvanov, who left office on January 22 after serving two terms there (2002-2012), spoke Friday in an interview for the largest private TV channel bTV. He said that the forthcoming battle with the ruling, center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB, was a battle among different leaderships more than ever. The ex Head of State further pointed at Borisov's Deputy and Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, as a symbol of violence - something GERB had turned into official State policy with the PM being its strongest representative. He firmly rejected information that that he had maintained close ties with defendant, murky businessman, former employee of the State Agency for National Security, DANS, and alleged crime boss Alexey Petrov AKA The Octopus and The Tractor. "Tsvetanov is an Interior Minister; he should not spread gossip. If he has proof that I have any connections with the "Octopus," he must go to Court and present it there as any honest man would do. If anyone maintained ties with Petrov - it was Borisov - they had a joint firm - and Atanas Atanasov was the person to hire him for the Security Services," Parvanov explained. Alexey Petrov was arrested on February 10 2010, in a special operation codenamed "Octopus," and together with five other people is facing charges of racketeering and extortion. The detainees were initially charged with organizing prostitution, drug trafficking, money laundering, racketeering, tax fraud and embezzlement. In the summer of 2010, the prosecutor declared that it was impossible to solve the case with one trial and opened two trials against a total of 25 defendants, deploying a team of three prosecutors. At the first for 2012 Court session on the "Octopus" case, the former Chief of the National Security Services, NSS (now DANS), General Atanas Atanasov, testified that there was a strong connection between Parvanov and Petrov. In the Friday interview, the former President declared that he was ready for a fight, a political clash, and a clash of morals and ideas, stressing that coalition with GERB, even in theory, is absolutely impossible. Parvanov is a former leader of the opposition, left wing Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP. He had to quit party ranks after he was elected for the first term in office, and as recently as last weekend, returned as a member. He voiced suspicions about those from BSP, who were responsible for the party having only 40 MPs in the current Parliament. Parvanov, however, pointed out that he would not self-nominate for BSP leader, but hoped on the support of many party members and wished for others to join the race, not just him and former PM and current BSP leader, Sergey Stanishev. He stressed that there are two key words for the Socialists now - "change" and "strength" "I was nominated for party Chairman in 1996, in a very critical situation. If the current situation imposes it - I could once again offer ideas and policies. At the next general elections, our party would not get enough votes to have its own cabinet, so we will have to seek coalition parties. It is important to work on having at least 120 BSP MPs in the next Parliament. GERB are weak as rulers, but showed that they know how to run elections," said the ex-President. Regarding reports that Vice President, Angel Marin, was illegal during their second term in office, because Parvanov failed to sign a decree for him, the former Head of State countered that the one signed at the beginning of the first term was permanent, without an expiration date. He praised his successor, Rosen Plevneliev, for being moderate and balanced. He also revealed that he had warned Plevneliev, who ran for President on the GERB ballot, about some risks he would face when working with the institutions. "I felt finally home when I sat in our old apartment to watch a volleyball game on TV with a shot of rakiya (traditional Bulgarian brandy) and pickles," Parvanov told the TV hosts. With wife and former First Lady, Zorka, they left the official State Residence "Boyana" and returned to their apartment in the modest Sofia district "Krasna Polyana." "I feel great in "Krasna Polyana. I lead a normal life; go to the grocery store. Life is back to normal as it was before I became President," Parvanov stated. see photo  |  print  |  send  |  post your opinion  |   view all opinions  |   top Bulgartransgaz Reports 1/3 Drop in Russian Gas Supplies Russian gas supplies to Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Macedonia have been reduced by 1/3, according to Kiril Temelkov, CEO of Bulgaria's state-owned gas transmission operator Bulgartransgaz. "At present, gas supplies for Bulgaria, as well as volumes of gas exported for Greece, Turkey and Macedonia, have been slashed by over 30%," Temelkov said in an interview on Friday. Bulgartransgaz' CEO explained that Bulgaria was using its own reserves to make up for the gas supply restriction amid the severe winter weather. On Thursday, Dimitar Gogov, CEO of state-owned gas supplier Bulgargaz, told Capital Daily that natural gas consumption in Bulgaria had gone up by 10-15% over the cold spell of the last days. He told journalists that increased demand was being met by tapping reserves from the Chiren gas depot and from local gas production, which he said was quite scant. Gogov added that the consumers had been advised to stick to the contracted volumes of natural gas. Gogov further explained that, although the Chiren gas depot contained reserves for 90 days, only limited quantities of gas could be taken out of it on a daily basis, and the volumes would not suffice to meet soaring consumption. Earlier on Friday, EU observer noted that impact of the sharp drop in Russian gas supplies had spread to a total of nine countries, including Italy, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary and Romania. Gas supply restrictions first hit Italy on Tuesday. see photo  |  print  |  send  |  post your opinion  |   view all opinions  |   top Domestic Bulgarian Parliament to Probe Ex VP Pardons of Criminals Sixty Members of the Parliament have signed a petition to establish an inquiry committee to probe the pardons and the Bulgarian citizenship granted by the former Vice President, Angel Marin. | read | World Polish PM Caves In, Freezes ACTA Ratification Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has yielded to mass protests, announcing Friday that his government would put on hold plans to ratify ACTA, the controversial international online anti-piracy accord. | read | More News · US State Dept: We'll See Real Winter in Bulgaria · Bulgarian PES Head: EU Right Wing Must End 'Mania for Cuts' · Bulgarian Ruling Party's Version of Illegal Assets Bill Prevails at Debates · Bulgaria Air to Purchase 9 Embraer Jets by End of 2014 Finance Greek Min: If You Want to Become Bulgaria and Be Finished, Just Default!
