The decision of the Council of Ministers to impose a lockdown is another inadequate action of Boyko Borissov and company. The „discovery“ that human life is the greatest value was announced today. We believe that all doctors, nurses and ordinary citizens are informed about this. And here comes the serious question – why were the partial restrictions not imposed earlier? This is what Professor Velislav Minekov, lawyer. Nikolay Hadjigenov and Arman Babikyan from the „Poison Trio“ said. And they continue in an open letter to the media:
Why were children and teachers expected to become infected enough (there was a fixed rate) for schools and universities to be closed? This has damaged both the education and the families of the learners.
How long did it take to follow the effect of the actions of the authorities in Israel, Spain, Italy and other countries with developed medicine, after even the media provided timely information about their measures?
Boyko Borissov, as the ruler of Bulgaria, can guarantee that gatherings in religious temples, manufacturing companies, administrative and office activities, call centers, large hardware stores, hairdressers and beauty salons will not contribute to higher morbidity?
What is the regime for concert halls and cinemas? In the play „Romeo and Juliet“ how close should the main characters be?
What are the health benefits of international sporting events over national sporting events?
What is happening in congested urban and interurban transport?
How will the specific control in our homes be carried out if 16, not 15 people attend family gatherings? Who will be the control body – the Ministry of Interior, Regional Health Inspectorate or an unknown municipal body and what will be the sanctions?
A number of other issues related to the functioning of public life remain open, the Poison Trio points out, setting an example for gatherings in markets where hundreds of people are usually close by. And continue:
What dictates the change – from Monday to Wednesday – of the planned period of the epidemiological situation from four to two months?
Why had the National health insurance fund not concluded contracts for COVID beds with hospitals from the summer to October, despite the decision to lower the requirements?
The decision of the „Poison Trio“ to change the form of the protest 24 days before the decision of the Council of Ministers shows that citizens had a clearer responsibility for the development of the health crisis than those to whom rights to govern the state were delegated.
Today, the measures were justified with the aim of reducing morbidity and mortality. Does this mean that the sick a month ago and the dead a month ago are a justified number that does not require the measures taken on 25.11.2020?
The next goal, which was defined, is to reduce the pressure on the health system. It is the gene. Mutafchiiski, who today praised the „timely measures of the government“, said in May that he would „die hard“. Is it dying hard enough right now for the measures to be „timely“?
The lie that there are enough beds in Bulgaria was repeated again, after everyone sees that there are no beds for the sick. Beds without doctors is a furniture store, not a health care system, the Poison Trio points out.
The justified empathy for the work of doctors and nurses cannot cancel the obvious lack of a plan, the chaos in the actions and the lack of security in our health system, which are due to Boyko Borissov and his government. We are left with the feeling that today’s order of Borissov is mainly related to our mental experiences at Christmas and New Year, and not to the health status of the population.
The lack of a precise regulation for entire sectors of the economy will create new chaos and a free sanctions regime.
It is a lie for the government to hide from the word lockdown and this strikes another blow at the citizens of Bulgaria, because the truth requires a decision of the National Assembly to declare a state of emergency, with all the resulting benefits for business and others. systems in the country. The illiterate actions of the government today brought, in addition to mass infection and death, the news of impending bankruptcies, unemployment and poverty. This was stated by the „Poison Trio“ in their letter and called for resignation.
