President Radev distances himself again from the future 'Third of March' party

The presidential institution has officially distanced itself from the future party “Third of March”, which announced that it regards President Rumen Radev as its “informal leader”.

The press office of Bulgaria’s head of state recalled that in November, President Radev stated: “The ‘Third of March’ Movement, the movement for a presidential republic, as well as any other derivatives, have nothing to do with me or the presidential institution. The people presenting themselves as organizers of my party and collecting money in my name are fraudsters and proxies of the oligarchy.”

On December 20, at a forum in Nessebar, “Third of March” announced that it would participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

When asked by BNR why President Radev has firmly distanced himself from “Third of March”, the project’s leader, Tihomir Atanasov, replied: “I said we accept him as an informal leader. I’m not claiming he is”.
