"The chief warrior against the coronavirus is the Prime Minister, instead of experts and specialists." This was said to BNR Reneta Indjova, Prime Minister of Bulgaria from October 1994 to January 1995 and former Chairwoman of the National Statistical Institute (2012-2014). "Neither the headquarters are set up by experts nor are those who should lead the fight in the healing process," she added.
In her words, it should have been acknowledged first that the fight against the epidemic was a war. "If it's a war, who ‘ll have to pay for the weapons that are going to be fired – whether the population or the public health system has to pay for all the tests and all the quarantine procedures it does.Why the population will have to pay for the masks. This is because Borisov saw the masks as a business he should do, not as a fitting of the population with protective equipment. It was not done with the doctors either, otherwise we can’t explain the high morbidity among them", Indjova commented.
She pointed out that the fight against Covid-19 has been fought politically, giving people the opportunity to choose which side to stand on – pro or anti Covid, so that Borisov could choose which side to stand on. “If those who fight the virus with the masks win, he will say that this is the right position, if those who say the virus is gone win, he will say that his position was correct. This is the position that Borissov takes as a sapper. He is surprised at any moment, "the former prime minister explained.
According to her, everything is done so that the Prime Minister can maneuver – school principals and mayors were given the right to decide. "It was the same case when Mangarov's laid-back position was accepted." "This makes the campaign political and the medicine compulsory," Indjova said.
She stressed that Bulgaria is the most equipped in terms of hospitals and hospital beds – 430 hospitals per 5 million people. "When this plague is over, it will be seen that no statistics on concomitant diseases have been kept. All this stuff is in bulk. There is no single national protocol on what to do if symptoms occur," Indjova said.
"The crisis leads to population freaking out, because consciously or deliberately the system is not prepared to accept where it is needed, nor is the system of general practitioners prepared to be in a constant touch with their patients. It’s been talks about 1000 levs only", she also commented and summed up that people cannot live in fear that when they become infected there is no hospital to accept them anywhere.
