30/03/09

The political academy was held with the kind hosting of the Olympic biathlon champion Katya Dafovska on 27th – 30th march 2009.

The meeting of the youth organization was attended by Tsvetan Tsvetanov – Chairman of PP GERB, Rumyana Jeleva – Chairwoman of the Bulgarian delegation in the EPP-ED parliamentary group, Monika Panayotova – Chairwoman of MGERB, Vladislav Goranov – economic expert of PP GERB, Bogdan Mirchev – representative of ‘Hanns Seidel’ Foundation for Bulgaria, Valentin Gadzhev – member of the Executive commission of PP GERB, Nickolay Melemov – regional coordinator of PP GERB – Smolyan, Nickolay Boyadzhiev – Mayor of Rudozem. The main topic of the forum was ‘Challenges in front of the right-wing before the General and European parliament elections’. The main goal of the seminar was for the young people to be able to explain clearly and correctly the difference between right and left policy, what kind of change in the government wanted the members of GERB and to convince people to vote.
The chairman of PP GERB Tsvetan Tsvetanov welcomed the idea of organizing such kind of training seminars and reminded that in the district of Smolyan in the last elections, they had succeeded in winning three municipalities, in which the BSP and MRF had been leading parties. He also reminded how difficult had been the battle for Rudozem municipality. ‘Except for Rudozem we also have mayors in Zlatograd and in Momchilovtsi village, where Mrs. Dora Yankova was born, which shows that in the Smolyan district GERB will win in the next elections’, Tsvetanov said. He praised the local organization and the regional coordinator Nickolay Melemov and the MEP Vladimir Urutchev and added that GERB had nothing common with the Mayor of Smolyan Dora Yankova, although she had attended a meeting of the councilors of GERB with people. ‘With her presence she wants to show some kind of civil activity, which does not fit with her actions here’, said the Chairman of the party. He added that many young people were members of the party in the whole country, because in the last years the young people had been abstained of voting. ‘We want by you, members of MGERB, to convince young people to vote, that’s the only way to reach the change’, Tsvetanov also said.

‘The PP GERB will participate on its own in the next elections, in order to bear the political responsibility. These will be the most difficult elections and campaign, but that will be the sweetest victory for party GERB in reaching its goals.’ This was said by the Chairman of PP GERB Tsvetan Tsvetanov on the meeting of the youth organization of GERB in Pamporovo. He specified that society does not want this government to continue. According to his words there is a good representation in the whole country and we could answer to the expectations of the people for real change.
Tsvetanov also commented the public debate between Boyko Borisov and Sergei Stanishev. ‘Borisov gave a clear sign for tolerance and good behaviour. But the good atmosphere was obscured only after 24 hours, because BSP has only one alternative, to live in their imaginary world that they’re the best in the country. The good is that the people take the decision. Stanishev estimates his work in one way, but the society in a different one. In their whole government there isn’t a transparency’, also said the Chairman of the party. Tsvetanov expressed his opinion about the information in the media about Toshko Todorov.
‘A man who has passed 15 years in the Territorial tax department, 8 years director; the state has invested in him, but the state did not hesitate to blacken and to make it out to be the biggest problem of the state, one expert, one man who the state has turned into an extremely good administrator. You see what is the valuation and the attack that aims only to put the negative on the daily agenda and to draw the people’s attention from the real problems’, concluded Tsvetanov.

On 28th March 2009 /Saturday/ the youth from PP GERB from the whole country held a civil initiative in the centre of Smolyan on the topic ‘Vote, to be heard’.
