"We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) will send the Acting Interior Minister Atanas Ilkov a list of risky polling stations in our country. Although the co-chairman of the coalition Kiril Petkov defined Ilkov as a person under the influence of Delyan Peevski, “The Change” will give him a preliminary vote of confidence. In the show “The Staircase” on Darik radio, PP-DB deputy Bozhidar Bojanov explained how, in his opinion, 150,000 bought votes can make or break a government and told how he was personally offered to buy votes in the market in Teteven.
“This campaign, in which I was a leader in Lovech, I was handing out leaflets at the market in Teteven, a man came to me and said “Dad, do you want me to sell you some votes?”... literally. I shooed the guy away, the police weren't around, I couldn't remember his name. There are indeed sections with 100% voter turnout, even 102% voter turnout - added from below," the People's Representative pointed out.
He also gave an example of the village of Banya, where it became clear from the stories of locals that in a particular neighborhood, with just over 600 people, everyone voted on election day.
We need to consider how much the bought vote actually affects. If we say that there are 150,000 (note row - bought votes), that's about 12-13 with a lower turnout, even 15 parliamentary seats, that determines your majority. Without this vote, a majority is impossible, with it it is possible," he clarified.
According to Bojanov, if the split in DPS, GERB, DPS and part of “Velichie” were going to support the “Zhelyazkov” cabinet.
