"ITN demands 6 years in prison for media interference in private life with an amendment to the Criminal Code. Censorship and terror are being imposed on public speaking with lightning votes. They did not prioritize prices, floods, water shortages, garbage, young doctors..., but censorship." This was stated by Kaloyan Metodiev from "Nepokorna Bulgaria" and added:
It was supported by GERB, MRF, BSP, Vazrazhdane. There has not been a similar law in Europe in the last 70 years, announced attorney Kashumov. In case of doubt, phones and emails can be monitored. A huge public reaction has arisen. And now they will give up on prison, but they will stop monitoring.
I have personally condemned several media outlets for false claims and lies. A huge yellow-brown scum has been pouring on me in recent years, but the issue of freedom of speech is a matter of principle. And I stand on the side of principle and justice.
Honest media, journalists, analysts, the entire society, should not suffer because of a few scoundrels who have been serving the same people who are voting for the scoundrel bill today.
The majority of GERB-SDF, DPS-NN, BSP-OL, Vazrazhdane and ITN have lost all social orientations. These five formations are anti-human, anti-social, anti-economic, anti-European and harmful to the development of the country."
