The President on the elections: The announcement of the official results raises questions  - 1

"The announcement of the official results of the elections instead of bringing reassurance in society, causes tension and raises questions about the fairness of the vote", President Rumen Radev said in a statement on the occasion of the early parliamentary elections.

- How is it possible that the multiplying signals and examples of a bought and manipulated vote can be seen by everyone, but remain outside the attention of the responsible institutions?

- Are state bodies used as a bludgeon over mayors and businesses to vote under rule? Was the criminal contingent harnessed to get votes?

- Who is the political power and who is the political leader that uses such ugly practices?

I expect convincing answers from the caretaker government and more specifically from the Ministry of the Interior as well as the security services. Bulgarian citizens have the full right to know in whose interest their institutions are working and whether someone is penetrating the National Assembly through vote buying, threats and racketeering.

There can be neither bought nor forced democracy. If we accept this as normal, it means that we have given up on the very idea of democracy.
