The economic dependence of entire electoral groups is carried over into political dependence, Veselin Vuchkov - former Minister of Internal Affairs - told BNT.
The Ministry of the Interior is also part of this "history" he added. And there is a debt regarding the past elections.
"We are indeed witnessing a huge volume of controlled vote, among which the bought vote is also very large".
According to him, it is important to "attack the root cause - economic dependence". It is shocking to him how entire election commissions are involved in some election frauds. He expressed hope that the prosecutor's office will self-refer.
According to Veselin Vuchkov, the Ministry of the Interior needs an external figure who is primarily a representative of civil society.
"The Ministry of the Interior is a very conservative system, very inertial. Which does not allow even elementary changes. But surely a person who is reform-minded is needed to carry out such mandatory and inevitable reforms.
In his words, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in many respects has not crossed the second half of the 20th century.
"It functions as a reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - forget all here".
