What is happening in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in "Customs" is a multifunctional active event organized before the election to compromise the political competitor.
This is what PP-DB co-chairman Atanas Atanasov stated before the BNR and gave an example of a similar "event" before the local elections, when "again DANS screwed it up to compromise machine voting":
"It's the same story now. DANCE again, because there are dependencies there that are used to be able to make too much noise. ...The aim of this operation (the arrest of Petya Bankova -b.r.) is to compromise the PP-DB, so that it can be discussed in all the media that there are some smuggling channels that fill party coffers, etc. .n.".
According to him, this "multifunctional active event" also aims to remove the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, because elections are coming up, and the headquarters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for countering vote-buying and election fraud should be headed by the Chief Secretary, and Kotsev is not the right person:
"The aim is to provide an umbrella for the buyers of votes for GERB and DPS".
Atanas Atanasov expressed the opinion that the Minister of Internal Affairs Kalin Stoyanov serves the interests of GERB and DPS:
"During the period of Nikolay Denkov's government, we have become convinced that as interior minister Stoyanov directly serves the interests of GERB and DPS in every way. Last year, not coincidentally during the parliamentary recess, in one day he changed 17 or 18 directors to regional directors of the interior. Without any parliamentary control and without any explanation. Subsequently, information was received from our party structures in the country that the newly appointed are people who are close to GERB and DPS".
He emphasized that until now they have "gritted their teeth so that the administration can move forward", that is why they are only now saying these criticisms:
"There was so much work regarding Bulgaria's membership in both Schengen and the Eurozone, as well as internal political issues that needed to be resolved, we would have interrupted the process. Roughly speaking, we gritted our teeth to move forward.
According to Atanasov, a radical reform of the security services is needed:
"There is information that the head of military intelligence, Brigadier General Venelin Venev, maintains contact with Russian services. ... I've been silent for so long because I'm sick and I don't want to have public battles with the security services, but ... he's busy settling his personal domestic issues by organizing a compromising attack on a party co-chairman who is mandate holder. Do you realize what this is about? Not to mention civilian intelligence, where there was another terrible affair - they were given shopping vouchers that said they were from the State "Intelligence" agency. The security sector is a terrible story, but our partners from GERB and Boyko Borisov personally refused to carry out a reform and establish who works for whom.
This parliament is going away and there is no point in dealing with the rotation of its chairman, said Atanasov and expressed doubt that if the question is raised, he will not get a majority:
"The parliamentary group could ask this question, I don't want to interfere because it concerns me personally.
After the elections, the PP-DB will negotiate with those who support their reform program, Atanas Atanasov pointed out, excluding only "Revival". of the political forces with which they would negotiate:
"A configuration will be sought first with political forces that have clear Euro-Atlantic priorities and them
