"These allocations are not at all random. It is rigged. The entire procedure is rigged. Shame on the court, shame on the prosecutor. This was stated by Kiril Petkov after the decision of the Sofia City Court to leave the mayor of Varna Blagomir Kotsev in custody, quoted by "Focus".
The court considered that the accused was possibly complicit in the acts for which he was charged, referring to witness testimonies.
"They cannot blackmail us in Sofia for the garbage. In Pazardzhik, they are trying to overthrow the municipal council, and in Varna - the strategic maritime capital of the state, the mayor is detained absolutely unfounded," said the co-chairman of the PP, calling the case "a complete disgrace".
Immediately after the decision of the Sofia City Court in the "Kotsev" case from the PP came up with a position that they published on their Facebook page:
Fourth month in custody, but this is not enough to break Blago.
For this reason, they have just decided to continue keeping him behind bars. They cannot act with the power of arguments, so they use the power of repression. Legal nonsense after legal nonsense.
This pre-trial procedure will go down in history as a custom-made one and will be taught to students how it should not be done. It is no coincidence that his arrest and the trial caused mass protests and international repercussions. Unprecedented injustice!
But Varna knows the truth! Bulgaria knows the truth! FREEDOM FOR BLAGO!
