Velichye party leader Ivelin Mihaylov stated that Bulgaria will not enter military conflict because major powers have determined the nation should avoid war. Mihaylov accused Boyko Borisov of using war threats to distract from domestic issues, and he claimed no tension exists between the United States and Russia, according to
news.bg. The politician criticized a Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe report that ends rule of law monitoring, and he cited his accountant developing diabetes from stress as evidence of judicial problems. Mihaylov suggested authorities might eventually prohibit him from purchasing groceries. The party plans to oppose legislation reducing presidential authority over security service appointments.
