"I heard and read all sorts of things about myself - suggestions, lies, all sorts of nonsense. We didn't just do TV shows, we realized a lot of causes. It was all in front of your eyes. It amazes me that there are still people who don't understand what we're doing. We do what is commanded by morality and law.

The current system reproduces immoral people. Apart from morality, we are guided by the law. We complied with the law, despite all obstacles, and organized a referendum. This is the first referendum organized by the members of the public. 3.5 million Bulgarians voted. The will to change the political system was more than definite. Everyone stood against us. I could not accept the throwing of the referendum ideas in the dump. I could not accept that a handful of individuals with complexes would triumph over the Bulgarian people. The only way to change things was from within, but again in compliance with the law. This is how we realized the political project "There is Such a People", which participated in two elections," Trifonov emphasized.

Slavi Trifonov also announced the priorities of his proposed government.

Some of the priorities for this government are:
