Presidential candidates of GERB and BSP Tsetska Tsacheva and gene.Rumen Radev rose for the first time against each other in a debate held in the studio of the morning show on BTV ( bTV, ).
They answered many questions regarding policies and security of Bulgaria and the powers of the president, as well as many topical issues on specific cases.
That was the question
Recoveries opposition in Turkey,
for which Mrs. Tsacheva strongly defended the authorities' decision immediately return our men in our southern neighbor, although it is suspected that their human rights have been violated.
"When the law is not respected, it must be happening. Support the activities of the institutions, because first and foremost the national interest, not human rights. The rule of law ensures what is fair for the individual, "said the candidate of GERB.
Her opponent General Radev categorically oppose this view, saying: "Do not assume to think so. Bulgaria lost sovereignty. No one else, no other country in no hurry to return so express people who are waiting for torture and threats to their lives. This leads me to believe that we have according to Erdogan. "
Tsacheva was asked and that was a member of the Communist Party years ago, to which she replied that she not be ashamed, but proud and quoted George Bernard Shaw who said that
"That 20 was not a socialist has no heart, and that 40 is a socialist no-brainer."
General Radev immediately react and blame your opponent, that talk about uniting the nation and "just excluded from this union all the people who are socialists, calling them mindless creatures."
At the beginning of the debate and they had one minute to make their core messages and as Tsachev and Radev was quite brief.
"National interest for me is educated and prosperous nation that lives in a stable and secure country. The Euro-Atlantic path of Bulgaria has no alternative, it is a value orientation. Bulgarian society needs justice and unity, "said Tsacheva.
Radev even said: "Change is inevitable, the president should not be master of ceremonies, and be proactive. My first priority is security, second - balanced and independent foreign policy, the third - to be a social filter the laws that penalize citizens. "
On the refugee crisis both had differences on this issue. Radev, a former commander of the Bulgarian Air Force said
border with Serbia is the most secure our border,
because the majority of migrants are captured right there and then by Serbian security forces and the border with Turkey, which continues to build fence said that it is "permeable". Tsacheva denied this was so and said that our country is now entering a day much less migrants than last year, are now 81 people a day, and last year they were in 7000. Radev, however, stressed that this topic main problem is smuggling that flourished and he sees no state to take measures to cut him off.
In such a situation Radev said he would summoned KSNS if he were president, but Tsacheva countered that KSNS be convened only when there are severe and direct threat to national sigrunost and urged: "We should not be forced tension and cause panic among citizens. "
"Everyone came outside, keep the territory and the Bulgarian pilot defend Motherland - these are two separate things,"
He said gene. Radev on the various options to protect the Bulgarian sky. "It must always together and never fee," he said.
"The defense must be the work of our modern army in line with NATO partner agencies have a commitment to security. And why not think about a common European army, "Tsacheva said again.
A curious fact was the consent of both one of the most controversial issues with regard to international politics, namely sanctions against Russia. And Radev and Tsacheva believe that Bulgaria should play an active role in the repeal of these sanctions, and otherwise to receive compensation for losses.
