„We have the responsible task of protecting the integrity of the vote - not to allow vote buyers to steal from us and from the future of our children”, Kandev stated. He stressed that every employee who does their job honestly will receive his full support and protection.
Kandev appealed to law enforcement officers to be proactive, to be out and about and not wait for people to come to them, but to talk to them themselves. “Breathe down the necks of the bad guys, this way you will make them nervous and they will make mistakes”, he urged.
The Secretary General was categorical that in the days leading up to the elections on April 19, the work of the police should be entirely among the public. “My appeal to you is that the initiative should be ours. I believe that until the election date it is not time for offices and bureaus. I want all of you in the field. Our work is among the public and we must justify its trust.”, he stressed.
According to him, it is extremely important for the Ministry of Interior employees to justify the trust of citizens. “It is important that after the vote on April 19, we can look our colleagues, our families and our children in the eye. Let us not be ashamed to do it!”, said Kandev and called on the police to act “boldly and according to the law”.
The address of the acting secretary general is part of his speech to the employees of the ODMVR - Vratsa.
