In recent weeks, colleagues from "Uskorenie" have visited quite a few Roma communities and I think it's time to talk about the situation there. For reasons of people's safety, I cannot cite the names of cities, as the problems in the regions are very different depending on the local government, education, and income levels.
This was commented on "Facebook" by Vladislav Panev.
People have not left the election campaign en masse and are afraid. DPS-New Beginning has not stopped acting, and through its officials - deputies, municipal councilors, activists. The carrot and the stick are playing at max. Very often the threat is that they will demolish the illegal houses if there are not so many (hundreds) votes for the MRF in section X. This is also how they intimidate the members of the section committees appointed by other parties. From time to time, the houses of "offenders" are pushed as punishment. Let others remember.
Inside the sections, it makes some difference whether you vote by machine or on paper, but not very much. Both methods have been practiced for a long time. A member of the committee stands behind the person being bought or threatened and clicks the button on the machine for him. Inside, no one says a word, because they are ordered to endure. We got in touch with committee chairmen who tearfully explain that they no longer want to be like that, but they are being forced. And on election day they have no choice but to expel independent observers during the counting, even if they are their personal friends. That is what they are ordered to do. Otherwise, they push their houses. And after the end of the election day, lists are added, additional ballots are issued, others are invalidated. The whole set.
The result of the three sections that we predicted from the last parliamentary elections - 800 votes for DPS Novo naklad, and two for other parties. As many as there are.
The other big scam is with the mobile sections, in which people who have difficulty moving vote. Only, this is done by request and no one checks whether the person is really that. There the results are often striking. 99 to one.
People are not supporters of Peevski en masse. They are afraid of him and his deribei. There is a big difference. The good thing is that they are already speaking out. They can explain where the honesty of the vote is broken. They give names of tartars. From the top of the pyramid to those who give out money. They are anonymous for now.
What can be done about the upcoming elections? The first is the police. The caretaker minister should replace the heads of the Internal Affairs Directorate and give clear instructions for preventing the tartars from now on. Then the members of the section committees from the democratic parties. Not observers, because they can be expelled at key stages. In the risky sections, they should be elected not by quotas, but by loyalty and the size of their biceps. They should instill respect. They should not take away their phones by filming violations.
They should not allow anyone to vote instead of the voters and ballots should be released after the end of election day.
The mafia has an interest in many problems being in the gray sector. To remain unresolved forever. Like with illegal houses. Neither to be pushed around nor to be legalized. This way, people are kept in complete submission. It is good that many Roma are leaving the neighborhoods, respectively the matrix. Whether abroad, whether they graduate from high school and university and start working, these are natural processes that produce slow results. Their inclusion is important for the prosperity of Bulgaria in general. Now we all have a task. To preserve the integrity of the vote, to preserve the dignity of the people and to expel the violent. Of course, the controlled vote decreases even with high voter turnout, but prevention is mandatory. If we manage this, the parliament will look much different.
