The resignation of the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, may be related to the next cabinet - he does not want to stay with Kalin Stoyanov in the upcoming government. This is what journalist Silvia Velikova told BNT.
Whether and why Kotsev's home was searched. Is that why he resigned, she asked.
"Politicians are not interested in hearing what happened around the Notary or Pepi Euroto, that is obvious," commented Velikova.
"My hypothesis is that Kotsev had information about the violations in the "Customs" Agency, revealed Kiril Borisov, a journalist.
"I assume that Zhivko Kotsev had a lot of information about what was happening both at customs and at the border crossing, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs closely monitors these processes. In any case, Kotsev knows a lot, and it is in this context that the search of his home and his questioning as a witness are possible", he also commented on the resignation of the chief secretary.
The journalist stated that it is also important who controls the Ministry of Interior before the elections. "They are organized by the CEC, but during elections, especially with paper ballots, many crimes happen. The Ministry of the Interior controls these processes, there is information on where and how this happens. "When you control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you also control a large part of the votes that can be bought and sold," he said. According to him, it is an open secret that customs finance the elections through smuggling channels.
According to Borisov, the fact that no specific answer is given as to whether Martin Bojanov - the Notary was an associate of the Ministry of the Interior, means that he was.
