Sofia, June 7 (BTA) - Leader of There Is Such a People (TISP)
party Slavi Trifonov will not be on the party's list in the
early parliamentary elections on July 11, he announced on his
Facebook page on Monday.

"I will not run for a seat in the next Parliament, because I do
not belong there. My job is to bear the responsibility for the
people who are there, and what they do," Trifonov wrote.

"The notion of responsibility is foreign to the Bulgarian
political life. To be responsible is very important on a
personal level, but responsibility for others is sacred. Imagine
 what it means to be a politician. You must be the most
responsible person on earth. But that's not the case in
Bulgaria, is it? The latest developments have proven it clearly.
 This is how I live: I speak when I have something to say, I do
what I deem morally right, and I try to bear my responsibilities
 with dignity."

"The fact that my colleagues and I founded TISP does not change
a thing. On the contrary, we created a platform to attract
professionals, responsible people who have the will and courage
to do what needs to be done," Trifonov's post reads.

There Is Such a People (TISP) was the second largest group in the
 Parliament elected on April 4. After the elections Trifonov was
 refraining from media appearances. Even though he was an
elected member of the 45th National Assembly, he never made it
into the plenary hall for health-related and other reasons.
