According to him, this priority is one of the main ones in the program of the DB, which has been asking for more funding for security for years.

„It is important that the services defend the national interest, not that of various oligarchic groups. That's why it's important how their leaders are chosen," added Slavov.

The former justice minister also commented on the detention of the deputy candidate from the “Alliance for Rights and Freedoms” Ceyhan Ibryamov. “Certainly, the constitutional procedures for his arrest were not fulfilled. He was clearly the subject of an investigation before his immunities were lifted,”, the lawyer is emphatic.
