Stefan Yanev's party is the subject of unhealthy interest from certain factors that are trying to control it.

This was commented by Ralitsa Simeonova - the former "right hand" of Stefan Yanev in his formation "Bulgarian Rise" on Nova TV. 

Simeonova pointed to two challenges facing the party - personnel issues and value orientation.

"A lot of people want it, few can.

These are personnel problems.

Of course, there are quality people, but they are not a critical mass.

In my opinion, the prospects for the development of the formation are not very positive, "Simeonova said.

"Like any new political project, the formation is the subject of unhealthy interest from certain factors that are trying to control it.

From my point of view, the necessary measures have not been taken against this, "Simeonova added.

She did not name the names she was "trying to control the party". 

Stefan Yanev's "right hand" left his party on the day of its establishment

"From how this formation is formed and structured, it will become clear whether there is a chance for a constructive role in Bulgarian political life.

There are representatives of almost all political parties you can think of.

But mass people are not quality.

There are also quality ones, but they are not dominant ", said Simeonova.

Asked if one of the reasons for leaving was Prof. Mollov, she said: "This case has been largely resolved, and Prof. Mollov is not part of the formation.

I'm more worried about people who are currently gravitating around the party, "she said.

According to her, "Bulgarian parties are widely used as an interest for the realization of private interests."

"We have a serious crisis of political representation.

There are very few quality people in Bulgarian political life, "Simeonova added.  

He said about Stefan Yanev: “He is a valuable, meaningful man, but he does not have enough political experience.

This will hinder him in the future.

He must gain political experience very quickly in order to meet the main challenges.

He is flexible and efficient - this can be an exceptional positive for his political career in the future. "

"Currently, the formation is in an amorphous state.

There may be a will, but I don't know if it has the capacity to be cleared, "Simeonova added.

Asked about the role of President Rumen Radev in this party, Simeonova said: "We are yet to see what his role is.

We will have the opportunity to follow the development of this formation and whether the presidential institution will give it a boost or not. "

"The presidential institution has a strong influence in directing the political agenda in one direction or another.

It can play a positive or negative role for something to happen or not ", Simeonova commented.

According to him, if there are early elections, there are several scenarios that are not very good for the country.

"In early elections, there will be an equally fragmented cabinet.

On the other hand, early elections go through a regime of a caretaker cabinet, but in the absence of a parliament, which deprives it of the opportunity to pursue an effective policy, "Simeonova commented.
