Listen to the news

"This is bad news - the prosecutor's office investigating an interior minister is not good. I don't like the fact that there is a reason for such a thing, no matter who it is. Let's let the prosecutor's office say who it is. This is not good for the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs , as well as for the trust in the institutions. It always hurts me when someone shoots at the institutions, regardless of whether there is a reason or not," said the former Minister of the Interior Valentin Radev

Valentin Ivanov Radev is the Minister of Internal Affairs in the office "Borisov 3" until August 31, 2018 in the studio of "Day ON AIR".

He said that he is not so surprised by the news that Bulgaria is exporting weapons to Ukraine, but: "I am surprised that two names are conjoined - Mr. Petkov and Mr. Vassilev. On the one hand, this article praises them for doing it secretly, on the other hand - they were silent all the time. I would put this article in serious doubt. Obviously, we do not export weapons directly to Bulgaria - Ukraine. Ninova is right here."

According to him, this happened through third parties.

"Why don't we officially provide military aid? What is wrong with us Bulgarians? Do we have something special towards Ukraine, do we hate these people? An aggressor attacked them. The first reason is that there is no lustration in Bulgaria. And the second - there is no leadership, and this article shows it perfectly. No one has explained to people that this is a good move and that we are doing something good, if someone did not understand," explained Radev on Bulgaria ON AIR.

And he is adamant that Ninova should immediately return the mandate.

"She can't with GERD, now she has to say No to Continuing the Change because she's been lied to all along. That's the bottom line of this article. Everyone is hiding behind the fact that it wasn't a direct export. For half last year we lost 1.3 billion dollars in turnover from what was exported as weapons. And weapons don't kill, people kill, weapons deter. This is insulting," added the former minister.

Valentin Radev

Valentin Ivanov Radev, Minister of Internal Affairs in the "Borisov 3" Cabinet until August 31, 2018 explained that Bulgaria specializes in producing all kinds of ammunition.

Asked if Borisov will go to the leadership meeting, he replied: "He is extremely dialogic, they accuse him of quickly changing his mind. The point of having a leadership meeting now is if there is a possibility of a government, I don't see it. Why should he go Mr. Borisov at this leadership meeting. And GERB did what we could, we tried at the beginning, it didn't work. Obviously, we are going to the elections, but I am not worried. This is democracy. With these caretaker governments, we are distorting democracy, now if there is fifth caretaker government, are we a presidential republic? This cannot go on."
