About 1,000 dealers are very actively involved in vote trading. This is what he said in "Day Live" on Nova News, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Filip Gunev, quoted by novini.bg
From the latest investigations of the Anti-Corruption Fund, it is clear who buys the most votes, said Gunev, specifying that the data show that in the last 7-8 years, in the risk sections, the most votes were bought for DPS, then for GERD, to a lesser extent for "Continuing the Change" and BSP.
Politicians order the buying of votes. However, the trade sometimes goes the other way - the dealers control the trade and offer to the politicians. Schemes also change. The machine vote changed some of the schemes, as well as their influence, the former deputy interior minister pointed out.
There are also more sophisticated schemes – organized around companies, controlled vote. This usually happens in smaller towns where a business is dependent on politicians. The workers are told – if you want a job, you should vote, comments Filip Gunev.
In some of the big cities, like Varna, there was a change of power from GERB to "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria", so we will see how this will affect vote buying, he said more Gunev.
