Balgarianovinite.com Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) Chair Atanas Atanassov said that “in the person of citizen Rumen Radev” the party has a very serious competitor, stressing that Radev will be their political rival. Speaking on bTV on Sunday, Atanassov emphasized that his party “finds no grounds whatsoever for cooperation with Radev or with whatever will be built around him.” DSB is part of the Democratic Bulgaria coalition and the Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria parliamentary group.
Atanassov highlighted that Radev “to this day refuses to explain with whom and how he intends to run in elections, but his orientation is quite clearly visible.”
“He talks about fighting oligarchy, about fighting inequality. Yes, inequality is a serious problem in Bulgaria, but it is a product of oligarchy. Here I want to ask which oligarchy Rumen Radev will be fighting,” the DSB leader said.
Atanassov also commented on the signing of a coalition agreement with Continue the Change and the Yes, Bulgaria party for the upcoming elections.
“The fact that one political force – let’s say in this case Continue the Change – has convened its national body and taken certain decisions with which to enter negotiations is entirely their right. Why not. We in DSB also took a decision before them; we simply did not announce it because we believed it was wise not to make noise in the public space. But we need to sit down at the table, take our decisions and appear at these elections in a consolidated manner,” he said. Atanassov added that the upcoming elections are extremely important for Bulgaria’s path, because there is a risk that “some may try to push us back to the East.” DSB Chair Atanassov Describes Rumen Radev as “Political Rival” 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-02-01 19:12:01 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
