The admission of GERB leader Boyko Borisov that the recently murdered former advisor of the State Agency for National Security and beret Alexey Petrov mediated the formation of the government is an admission that the state is being governed behind the scenes. President Rumen Radev made this statement to journalists during his visit to Nedelino, where he opened the National Folk Festival for two-part singing and folk song.

According to the head of state, it does not matter what Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov says, who denied knowing Alexey Petrov and having participated in such meetings. "When the state is run behind the scenes, it is weak, and when the state is weak, the mafia is strong," he pointed out.

"The governing coalition does not listen to the people. Prices are rising, scandals are multiplying. They are preparing to hijack the Constitution, change Bulgaria's National Day, subjugate the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the services politically. This diverts our country from the democratic path of development, from the principles and norms of making European politics", said Rumen Radev.

The President emphasized again that the date of the national holiday, March 3, is the red line of the people's patience. "We will protect our history, our dignity, our future from these encroachments by all democratic means and, if necessary, through a national referendum," he added.
