Protests like this one in support of Kalin Stoyanov are on the edge of the law, because the police officers have no right to express an opinion regarding the political leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, especially organized ones. DANS and the prosecutor's office should start an investigation. This is what he said about "Your day" Prof. Milen Ivanov, security expert and former vice-rector of the Academy of the Ministry of the Interior.
According to him, a serious defect of the Law on the Interior is that the minister appoints and dismisses police officers. "Police officers have no right to protest outside the union. The law on the Ministry of Internal Affairs clearly regulates the depoliticization and departmentalization of law enforcement agencies. In reality, people Stoyanov hires and dismisses come out in his support. If the protest in his defense is not spontaneous, it would be a dangerous precedent in the system. Personality does not matter, the issue is legal and principled. DANS and the prosecutor's office can say whether there is a violation of the law during these protests. Under all circumstances, checks must have been initiated, this is their duty in this case,", he explained.
According to him, in the last year and a half, not a single amendment has been made to the Law on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
