This is how the chairman of the party's National Council responded to a question about whether he would resign
"BSP-United Left" is already preparing for the upcoming elections, the chairman of the party's National Council Atanas Zafirov told journalists in response to a question about whether he would resign as a political leader.
The outgoing Deputy Prime Minister participated in a pre-Christmas event at the registration and reception center of the State Agency for Refugees in "Ovcha Kupel". There, he and the chairman of the State Agency for Refugees under the Council of Ministers Ivan Ivanov delighted 21 young refugees with gifts days before Christmas.
"The most important topic at the moment is precisely the elections, the result of our participation in the government, and anyone who tries to shift the center of gravity from these issues is an enemy of the BSP and Bulgaria," he added.
As a person who is not indifferent to the future of not only the BSP, but also the entire left, I want to assure you that we are about to make the most correct and accurate decisions in the manner in which they are written in our documents and rules, Zafirov also stated.
BTA recalls that the Executive Bureau of the BSP submitted its resignation to the Chairman of the National Council of the party, Atanas Zafirov, on December 16 and scheduled a meeting of the National Assembly for January 10, 2026.
The members of the leadership of the left made this decision as an act of collective responsibility, with the clear awareness that at this important moment for the state and the party, the most important thing is to calm the situation and guide the party through the upcoming challenges, the BSP stated at the time.
