Bulgaria’s caretaker PM Stefan Yanev: I am not a person of empty promises

"Being a caretaker Prime Minister is a great honour and a great responsibility. I am not a person of empty promises. I will work honestly, in line with the rule of the law and in the interest of the public," caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev said during the presentation of the structure of the caretaker government in the building of the Presidency on May 12.

"This is also what I will expect from the caretaker ministers appointed by the President. We will work for the citizens together, we will work to the benefit of the citizens," Yanev said.

According to him, as defined by the Constitution, the main priority of the caretaker government is the organization and conduct of free, fair and democratic elections, in strict compliance with the legal provisions.

The caretaker government will work under the motto "Honesty, transparency and professionalism".

"I expect all institutions to work in sync, to be absolutely uncompromising in any attempts at electoral violations. The term of office of the caretaker government is short, I cannot commit that in this period we will be able to solve all the problems accumulated over the years. what I can say is that I will do my best, as well as my colleagues, so that at least the process of solving the problems can begin," added Stefan Yanev.

"An honest and responsible governance of the caretaker cabinet can at least regain part of the lost confidence in institutions," he said.

"I will urge the cabinet, all my colleagues and all institutions to work in full transparency and accountability to citizens. We will make the necessary efforts to have more effective political communication, which society expects, namely for more rational talking and action. The global pandemic has caused a combined health, economic and social crisis around the world, of which Bulgaria is no exception. The only way to deal with such crises is to unite the nation. Only with joint efforts can real results be achieved. In this regard, we will work to lend a hand and restore dialogue with Bulgarian business, including small and medium-sized enterprises, which is particularly affected by the COVID pandemic," said Stefan Yanev.

He thanked everyone in the health sector who have been for over a year fighting to curb the crisis and help patients. Yanev also expressed gratitude to the teachers, because health and education are the basic values of a developed society.
