The case became entangled with the drama in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, announced that he was withdrawing his resignation, which was provoked and submitted under enormous psychological and moral pressure.
"We saw with the arrest of Petya Bankova - 72 hours of indifference, the prosecutor's office brings charges. We know from recent years that specific prosecutors were really a tool simply to destroy human destinies. We have seen the institutionalization of the highest period of Bulgaria - the rule of the Mutras. The absence of specific actions in the fight against corruption makes a strong impression. We are looking at an unprincipled behavior", declared the former Deputy Minister of Agriculture Ivan Hristanov in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
Requests for the resignation of many ministers have been ignored, the former deputy minister believes.
"They ignored our demands for the resignation of the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of the Interior, who brutally failed to hold the local elections. It is these unprincipled positions that have led to the fact that we have 350,000 - 400,000 people who have supported these people for the last 2 years. This is a huge blow to Bulgarian society,", commented Hristanov to Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to him, apart from Schengen, the situation with the roads in the country should also be discussed.
"I travel around Bulgaria once a week and it is amazing how this National Assembly, the previous one as well, continues to push an agenda that is not at all close to Bulgarians, outside the center of Sofia. Schengen is something wonderful for 2 million Bulgarians. The remaining 5 million leave home by car and have to avoid potholes. Bulgarians live on Mars. "We don't have roads, but we've been talking about Schengen for 9 months so that a (non)coalition can be legitimized," added the guest.
Hristanov is of the opinion that 2 in 1 elections would be extremely harmful for Bulgaria.
"All merged elections represent an opportunity to buy two votes with BGN 300, so it works for the parties that pay each other. We don't see a constitutional procedure that can do something different, but this will be extremely harmful for Bulgaria," he said.
