There is a threat to national security, which the prime minister is also aware of. Last night we received the signal, we have signaled the services. We have started checks. I cannot reveal more at this stage. This was stated by the acting Minister of Agriculture Ivan Hristanov at a briefing while presenting his team.
He has already filed a signal with the prosecutor's office for abuses of nearly half a million leva, related to the so-called “golden fadroma”.
However, now he has refused to give more details about the signal, which the National Security Service has also been informed about.
Hristanov commented that he will not budge. Yesterday from “There are such people” read a statement with information about the acting Minister of Agriculture and Food for his appointments and called on President Iliana Yotova to demand his resignation.
"The last few days have been filled with unprecedented attacks. We heard that my wife had interests in some laboratories, which is slander and fraud. It is very interesting that this attack coincided with the signal to the prosecutor's office,", Hristanov pointed out.
And he added:
"Our first priority is transparency. This beautiful building was becoming a backstage area.
We guarantee that the sector will not be affected by the change. We want to assure everyone that work will be done on schedule. The fight against corruption remains a top priority. No matter how many months we have - three or six, we will use every minute for the public good."
