I had never thought of the word pore, then I'm like, 'Sh**! What do I do with these?'"Īnother topic Vergara isn't shy about is her bra size. "People say, 'Oh, you look like you're in your 20s.' Well, it's not true," she adds. I think if you are obsessed with this 'I want to look younger' thing, you're going to go crazy." I want to look my age, but I want to look great. "It's not that you hate it, or that you're upset about it, but it is our reality. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can't be perfect," she explains.

Nor an election either, just a television event, but not a game show, nor a song contest.
Barring one telling point, that Gerdzhikov had the backing of an effective political establishment, massively corrupt, targeted under the US’s Magnitsky Act.īut then, this was not an Eisteddfod. Perhaps complacent beforehand, perhaps complacent that victory would come easily, Radev did not. Certain of himself, prepared, assertive, Gerdzikov did well. To the obvious delight of Professor Gerdzhikov, a philologist, Radev – still irritated – fudged the question.īut then, it was – surprisingly – entertaining television. “You are trying to tie me to other people, a good president should not only think of Boiko Borissov,” Gerdzhikov said.Īt the end, BNT’s Radeva (presumably, no relation) asked the two candidates to cite their favourite poet. “But the division in society and your failures are yours, personally” Gerdzhikov pressed on with his indictments, on the impact of soaring electricity prices on business, and by extension, household consumers.Īt one point, Radev sought to hit back, on the topic of the photographs of Borissov’s bedroom, with the gold ingots, the vast sums of euro in cash, the alleged undeclared property in Barcelona, every symbol that has been seized on the symbols of the former prime minister’s vast corruption: “The bedside drawers are not mine,” said Gerdzhikov. Had that not been delayed, the country would have had the money it needed, he said (omitting, of course, that Boiko Borissov’s GERB, which backs Gerdzhikov, had not achieved anything in this respect, either but politics is about perceptions).

The “green certificate” was not pleasant, said Radev, adding that the alternative was a full lockdown.Īdding to his indictments of the caretaker administration appointed by Radev, Gerdzhikov said that Bulgaria’s private sector was on the verge of collapse, pointing to soaring energy and gas prices, and adding that the caretaker administration had taken a long time to present to the EU its Recovery and Stability Plan proposal. It was enough to look at Bulgaria’s record of Covid-19 deaths, the numbers of those in hospital, to see that the country was not out of the crisis, Gerdzhikov said, adding his indictment of the inept way in which the “green certificate” had been introduced. Gerdzhikov, whose campaign until now has been limited to being “Mr Nice Guy” swooped on Radev on the record of the caretaker government that the incumbent president appointed and its abysmal, fatal, record on Covid-19 deaths in Bulgaria, the EU country with the highest Covid-19 death rate and its lowest percentage of vaccines against the disease.Īs Radev sought to defend that record, Gerdzhikov said, tellingly, “I don’t agree with your rosy picture”.
But then, again, he has only been shown to be good at flying old aircraft. Radev went into the debate with first-round results showing that he is so far ahead of Gerdzhikov that defeat, in paraphrase of Queen Victoria, is not a risk we are prepared to countenance.īy the end of the 90-minute television event, ably moderated by public broadcaster Bulgarian National Television’s Adelina Radeva, Radev had the facial expression of one on the defensive.
Radev went into the debate with the assurance that the party so close to him, We Continue the Change, will attempt, and possibly succeed, to form the next government. On the balance of the political forces that will support him in the second round of Bulgaria’s presidential elections on November 21, Roumen Radev will win a second term as the country’s President.īut in the one and only television debate ahead of that second round, Radev – the incumbent head of state, the former Air Force commander and pilot of ageing Soviet fighter jets, with a chestful of medals, none won in actual combat – had his arse thoroughly kicked by his stoop-shouldered rival, Sofia University rector Professor Anastas Gerdzhikov.
