Assen Vassilev, the leader of the political party "We Continue the Change" (PP), has publicly accused Prime Minister Rumen Radev of suffering from amnesia. Vassilev directed his criticism at the head of state following remarks Radev made on July 7.
Vassilev's pointed accusation was made in front of journalists at the National Assembly. The context for his statement appears to be comments previously made by Prime Minister Radev regarding the government that was led by Kiril Petkov. The specifics of Radev's statements and the historical period they referenced were not detailed in the provided text, but they clearly prompted Vassilev's sharp response.
The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions and differing interpretations of past governmental actions or policies within Bulgaria. Vassilev's use of the term 'amnesia' suggests he believes Radev is misremembering or misrepresenting events related to the Petkov administration, a period significant for the PP party.
Prime Minister Radev has amnesia.
