< p>The reports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the measures against vote buying are part of rather clumsy crisis PR. Information is coming to NGOs and parties that attempts to win these elections through bought, manipulated and controlled votes are at an unprecedented level.
This was stated by the communication specialist Vesislava Tancheva from the BOEC civil movement to the BNR. The association organized today a protest against the manipulated vote, demanding the resignation of the interior minister.
"Unlike other times, now the repressive apparatus of the state is being used in favor of a specific political force. The Ministry of Internal Affairs itself has been turned into a tool for winning votes," she stressed.
Nowhere in the law is there a text that forbids the Ministry of Internal Affairs to announce which parties are buying votes, commented Tancheva in the program "Before all".
The silence of the parties is questionable, she noted.
"I have no idea why GERB is not interested in this, because in fact they will be the biggest victims of this mass buying of votes for a specific political party. They will lose their controllable vote in areas where they traditionally win with that type of controllable vote."
Vote buying is an expensive exercise. The controlled one is more strongly advocated, Tancheva also explained.
