The Ruling Party Has Turned CEC Into a Tool for Lawlessness The refusal to register the right coalitions in Montana and Pleven puts a stain on Bulgarian democracy, declare United Agrarians. GERB want to predetermine the results of the autumn local elections and to stage a walkover by selectively blocking the registration of coalitions with the Central Electoral Commission, particularly the participation in the elections of the mayors of Pleven and Montana. Refusal to register in both cities the right coalitions, which back for fourth terms of office the current mayors – Nayden Zelenogorski and Zlatko Zhivkov, in practice turns CEC into a tool of the ruling party for lawlessness, aiming to disquakify them from the election race. United Agrarians take part in the coalitions supporting the mayors of Montana and Pleven. UA Chair Petya Stavreva shared with PAS XXI c. Weekly that the national leadership of the Union firmly opposes these behind the scenes combinations, which violate the rights of the citizens and stain Bulgarian democracy. Stavreva remembered the case in the Eleshnitsa village, Elin Pelin community. According to the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works the population of the village is 351, and satisfies all requirements for conducting normal elections in 2011. Nevertheless the Regional Election Commission disallows the mayor elections there. GERB and CEC employ Stalinist methods bordering on dictatorship, declared SDS leader Martin Dimitrov, challenged by the refusal to register the right coalition in Montana. In a special declaration SDS stated that “this denial is contrary to the law and the own guidelines of CEC and REC”. Denying participation in the elections to the Blue Coalition parties and the other democratic formations in Pleven and Montana is an impudent elimination of the only true alternative to the slipping GERB rule , points out further the document. ”Together with our partners from the democratic political spectrum we will inform the European Commission, the EPP Chair Mr. Martens and the international human rights organisations and associations for fair elections”, says the declaration. The blues state that they will bring up the case before the European Court in Strassbourgh. PAZ XXI c. Author: Ivan Kutuzov, Dnevnik Daily >> Back to contents >> Petya Stavreva: It is Time for the Reasonable Vote for Bulgaria’s President! ”On October 23 the citizens of Bulgaria will be offered the choice between the status quo and the change in the presidency institution, between the democratic alternatove and the degradation of values and political moral. I know Mr. Rumen Hristov as a principled and consistent politician, who over the years has kept his loyalty to the democratic cause. He can turn the presidency into a real factor of our political life. I urge all agrarians, all democrats to come out on 23 October and make the reasonable choice by voting for the presidential candidate of the united right and if United Agrarians!” This was the statement of the United Agrarians Chair Petya Stavreva on 3 September at the presentation of the Union of the Right Forces coalition, registered for the presidential elections. The policy I will lead, if I become Head of State, will be pro-Bulgarian. I will be a right president, said right presidential candidate Rumen Hristov in his speech. If I am elected, I want to work to improve the economic environment and facilitate the small and medium businesses, declared he and promised to be the president for all Bulgarian citizens. Hristov added that “the people, who demanded the democratic changes in Bulgaria, today live the worst lives. We owe them, they deserve a retribution and we will provide it to them", said the president-candidate. We believe we start the change of Bulgaria today. The need for this change is urgent, and the extensive right coalition we made is the way to achieve that, pointed out SDS leader Martin Dimitrov. He stressed that “there is only one true right presidential candidate – Rumen Hristov, and I am sure that he will win". ”The presidential elections are a tangible opportunity to restore the true right space in Bulgarian politics”, says a special declaration of the parties, supporting the right head of state candidate Rumen Hristov.
