It matters who will be the acting prime minister. We have already seen that when the acting prime minister is appointed by Peevski and Borisov, we have very rigged elections. The people have lost faith in them. The best option is Andrey Gyurov, he can bring some balance. This was stated by the chairman of the party “Velicie” Ivelin Mihaylov in the show “Face to Face” on BTV.

People want fair elections. Gyurov would improve the situation, he believes.

When Boyko Rashkov was Minister of Interior, in the municipality where I live, GERB bought 100% of the votes. The Minister of the Interior does not have this power, because corruption has spread everywhere. Only civil society can regulate these processes, commented the leader of "Velichy".

According to him, the authorities are not interested in evidence of election buying. "The materials were sent not only to the competent authorities but also to all parliamentary parties, as well as to the media. We have filed a report about a stolen campsite for half a billion leva in the Avren municipality, but there has been no reaction. We have received many reports, but the authorities say: "What's the point". We are not a democratic country at the moment and this has made people take to the streets," Mihaylov said.

"The way they want to close the KPKONPI is to cover their tracks. It is possible that this will not pass in the chamber, because they were also looking for cooperation from us. We refused. Let the CPC be closed, but we insist that all cases of abuse be investigated and that all those responsible bear responsibility”, admits the leader of “Velicie”.

Ivelin Mihaylov shared a case in which CPC employees in an underground garage of a mall told him to replace the ITN in the administration. He admits that there was a disagreement about money. Thanks to which the government fell, not because of the protests. He was pressured to influence the PG of “Velicie” to vote together with Borisov and Peevski, otherwise his people would be arrested. “They continue to check us. They illegally entered my home. Given that I am an MP (who has immunity – ed. note), they have no right to take computers and devices. They entered, took them. They detained five people close to me. They raised some empty accusations, entered my house, arrested my accountant, who is seriously ill. The man could have died in custody,” he warned.

The leader of “Velicie” commented that there was an attempt to assassinate a party coordinator in Gotse Delchev. “He had broken arms because he was reporting. The attacker was released on bail for 2,000 leva. His wife is the chief architect of the municipality. They broke his arms, strangled him. He has 30 stitches on his head. The attacker has been released from custody.”

According to him, 100% of the money under the PVU has gone into private hands. “We will not lose money. The parties that distribute it will lose the money. Part of the money is taken from companies to the government through the BDB. Through regulators, they tell banks who to grant credit to, which will be secured through the PVU, and they will turn a blind eye to the creditors, but will guarantee that they will be able to get their money – it's all a game through which banks cooperate with those in power so that they can rob people".

We know perfectly well how they manipulate elections, he emphasized. “The first thing we had to do was to recognize video surveillance as evidence of a crime. They cannot judge murder based on video surveillance, but not vote manipulation. Second – civil organizations must be given the opportunity to participate in the SICs. This will strengthen control and it will be difficult to manipulate”, the leader of “Velichy” pointed out.

Rumen Radev is our potential partner because he is fighting against the status quo, Mihaylov announced.
