While I am waiting for the Minister of the Interior to send officers of the Ministry of the Interior to arrest me because I have not driven a few kilometers solid fence in the center of Sofia and to send the prosecutor's office to the Sofia municipality, let us calmly and with understanding respect the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria. Without emotions and with reason.
This commented on "Facebook" the mayor of Sofia Vasil Terziev.
So:
The Minister of the Interior is talking about committing criminal liability against me, due to non-compliance with the court decision. In the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court, it is said that it leaves in force the order of the Administrative Court-Sofia city, and the order of the Administrative Court-Sofia city, which was sent to us, states that "the actions carried out by officials of the Council of Ministers to introduce a new permanent organization shall be unconditionally terminated" of traffic, by drawing new road markings, placing road signs, barriers, etc.“.
At no time, after the decision was issued and even before the order of the SDVR, the Metropolitan Municipality did not take any action regarding the introduction of a new permanent traffic organization. All actions are suspended.
What is the crime you accuse me of, Mr. Minister, and threaten to arrest me on air?
At the moment, I can neither comment nor address the minister's claims about an existing danger to citizens, because so far no one has heard what exactly they are and no one has been able to define them in detail.
Stolichna municipality has filed an appeal against the order of the SDVR, and according to the general rules of the administrative procedure, the appeal filed in time stops the execution of the order, and in this case no preliminary execution is allowed. What more specifically, apart from PR noise, did the walk to the center of the capital achieve?
Disputes regarding the interpretation of an effective decision are considered by the court that issued it. The law, Mr. Minister, allows a request for interpretation in the case of an unclear judicial act. As soon as the legislator has provided for such a procedure, it means that the parties to a legal dispute can request an interpretation of the legal act. And you, as a minister, should not lightly ignore the right given to us by the law.
And when we talked about safety and the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior - why does the Ministry of the Interior not have the will to adopt the experience of many European countries and support a change to the Road Traffic Act to allow municipalities to use their cameras to detect violations and to impose fines?
