Volya party: Blockades at intersections only cement the government

“We support the protesters but do not support anarchy. Protesters are one thing, but people who block cities is quite another,” said Volya party leader and National Assembly Vice-President Veselin Mareshki for BNT.

“These 10,15, 50 or even 100 people who are ruining people’s lives, they are looking for provocation just so they can make the news,” Mareshki said.

In his words this is not the way to achieve the resignation of the government. Quite the opposite, it is cementing the government as it breeds discontent among the other members of the public. Veselin Mareshki explained that Volya had not attended yesterday’s extraordinary sitting of parliament because they did not want “the taxes paid by Bulgaria’s pensioners, businessmen and teachers” to be used to pay for Korneliya Ninova’s election campaign for Bulgarians Socialist Party leader.
