These people have been slandering politics, this time they have decided to slander criminal law as well. All this is a finger-wagging for free speech. This was said in the program "Panorama" on BNT by the MP from "We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria" Atanas Atanasov in connection with the bill submitted yesterday and withdrawn today by "There is such a people", providing for imprisonment from 1 to 6 years for distributing personal information in the media, including on social networks, without the consent of the specific person.
As always, Boyko Borisov came out as a savior. One begins to wonder if this is not a learned combination for Boyko Borisov to appear in this role, Atanasov added, quoted by novini.bg.
He indicated that he stands by his position that the Commission for Combating Corruption should be closed. All these people from the CPC should go to the stock exchange, because they were sent there to carry out political orders. At the beginning, the commission was elected with a qualified majority of 2/3, and now it can be elected with a simple political majority - you can imagine how impartial it will be, the DSB leader said.
The text on party neutrality should be removed from the law for the heads of services as well, because they will also be elected with a simple majority. Everything that is done by the ruling party is aimed at usurping the repressive power of the state in order to exercise it in such cases as the one against the mayor of Varna, Blagomir Kotsev, noted Atanas Atanasov.
It is unacceptable for repressive power to be given only to the ruling party. There must be a balance on the part of the president, he added.
Atanasov also commented on the actions of the mayor of Sofia, Vasil Terziev, during the garbage crisis in the capital.
It turned out that this man has a political backbone and stood up against those who want to collect huge amounts of money from Sofia residents in order to fill some drawers again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him and I think he will succeed, said the MP from "Continuing Change-Democratic Bulgaria".
Asked if Terziev could be the candidate for president of the democratic community, Atanas Atanasov said: "We at DSB have started a process that will develop. It is best if there is a competition. We will look for a broad-minded person who will go to the preliminary elections. He has said several times that he is not interested in the presidential post, but if there is such a competition, to command. I think he has the qualities to fight in the presidential elections on the one hand with the status quo, and on the other - with the pro-Russian parties".
