Whether there was a vote of no confidence in the interim government or not, it must be realised that the Bulgarian people were in a state of serious distrust of the entire political system, Constitutional Judge Atanas Semov stated, according to Bulgarian media.
According to Semov, a big question is what will happen next for Bulgaria against the backdrop of a demographic crisis and an ineffective education system.
“The big question is whether we realise that as long as we are engaged in petty political passions, the fatherland is going away (…) demographically we are disappearing, (…) we have ruined the school and children are coming out of it who do not understand text, who cannot write without emoticons and cannot be happy if they do not use cynicisms and listen to music with decibels of a plane taking off.”
The judge believes that the way out of the situation would be a return to “the origins and foundations of the Bulgarian nation.”
They are at least three – strong education, strong law and order, decent people.
Asked whether it was possible to seek a vote of no confidence in the interim government, Semov argued that there was no correct answer, as the Constitution did not explicitly provide for such “pathological, atypical situations”. He added that it was normal that the president had no time limit for changing ministers, as it was not an administrative procedure.
Atanas Semov is on a visit to the University of Economics in Varna, where he is giving a public lecture and report on “Constitution, Sovereignty and Identity. 145 years since the adoption of the Tarnovo Constitution”.
