MEP and Deputy Chairman of IMRO Angel Djambazki described as treacherous and disgraceful the position of the leader of „There is such a people“ Slavi Trifonov, which he spread earlier on the occasion of Bulgaria’s disputes with the Republic of Northern Macedonia. He circulated a post on Facebook that read:
„Shameful betrayal. Shameful betrayal of the rights and legitimate interests of tens of thousands of Macedonian Bulgarians, the memory of our ancestors, the Bulgarian national honor and dignity against travel to the United States without visas …“
„It doesn’t matter what the reason for this nationally treacherous position of the ITN chairman is – dependence, pressure, deal, promise or just degradation. This is a ‘position’ and will remain a shining example of disgraceful national betrayal.“
We remind you that earlier today Trifonov published a sharp position on the topic of Northern Macedonia. In it, he commented:
„I’ll tell you what I think. Since Americans want Northern Macedonia so much in the European Union, let the citizens of Bulgaria, like the citizens of most countries in the European Union, not need visas to go to America. That is, we are a full member of the EU and Bulgarian citizens, because they are Europeans, do not need visas to go to America.“
„And secondly, again, since we are a full member of the European Union, Bulgaria must immediately become a member of the Schengen area. Aman from waiting, waiting and we are supposed to be Europeans, but we are less Europeans than real Europeans. for America and Schengen members immediately.“
„Since the United States and the European Union want us to be loyal partners – well, but loyalty is in two directions. We will be loyal to them, but let them be loyal to us. That’s fair. That’s right. And that’s right.“
In conclusion, Trifonov points out that the position is his, as a citizen of Bulgaria.
