I will not hide that I feel great relief and I am very happy that I only had to be in this position for half a term. I am very satisfied that things happened that were unthinkable.
This was stated by the former member of the CEM, Sonya Momchilova, in the program “EvroDikov“ on “Eurocom“ Television.
A few days ago, President Rumen Radev signed a decree on the appointment of Kudrinka Kudrinova as a member of the Council for Electronic Media in Momchilova's place.
“Our work has become completely transparent. In addition to access to the minutes of the council, citizens could follow our meetings online, in real time,”, continued the former chairman.
She explained that the first impression she came away with was that people were not familiar with what the regulator was doing and what exactly the electronic media council was doing.
“This discretion, this hidden side of the regulator gives great peace of mind, but on the other hand it burdens SEM with some unjustified expectations”.
Momchilova emphasized her merits regarding the ban on gambling ads.
Regarding her future, the now former chairman of the CEM explained that she does not expect anything. “I don't expect invitations to rain, it was like that before I got into the electronic media council. I will think about what I will do”.
Sonia Momchilova wished Kudrinka Kudrinova to be brave.
“She is a brave person. She is a valiant journalist in addition to being a person of extraordinary dignity”
