MOSCOW, Jun 23Russian Ambassador to Sofia Eleonora Mitrofanova, commenting on the statements of the Bulgarian prime minister that she is to blame for the fact that he was given a vote of no confidence, said that this is a very «convenient» explanation for the authorities — Russia is always to blame for everything. Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov after Parliament's vote of no confidence in his government placed the blame on three politicians and Russia's ambassador to the country, Eleonora Mitrofanova. Among the named politicians are businessman and former MP Delyan Peevski, Boyko Borisov, who heads the GERB party, whose deputies put forward a vote of no confidence, and Slavi Trifonov, whose party «There is such a people» (ETN) previously left the government coalition.
10:01The Russian Embassy in Bulgaria responded to the accusations of the ex-premier «The fact that Mitrofanova is to blame is probably such a convenient explanation for them, since now Russia is generally to blame for everything. But in fact, last year there was a huge government and parliamentary crisis, parliamentary elections were held three times, finally, he gathered. The parties in the parliament are very diverse, but, nevertheless, a coalition government was formed for the sake of Bulgaria,» she said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel. «But when the difficulties began and anti-Russian hysteria — and traditionally the people of Bulgaria have a very good attitude towards Russia — and the fact that Bulgaria stood in the forefront of support for sanctions, many here caused at least bewilderment.In addition, to date, inflation in Bulgaria is 18.5% , industrial inflation — 40%. That is, these are quite heavy numbers. In Bulgaria, the people are not rich and all this is reflected in people. And one more question — North Macedonia. Bulgaria does not support accession the entry of North Macedonia into the European Union for a number of historical reasons. These are two fundamental things, about which there was a big disagreement in Parliament,» she explained. Ambassador due to the resignation of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria
