The Ministry of the Interior did not act during the elections, former acting interior minister Ivan Demerdzhiev told BNT, quoted by news.bg.
Everything we saw in the footage remained without consequences, he added and emphasized the unprecedented situation with the many appeals for rigging the elections in the Constitutional Court.
Ivan Demerdzhiev named his successor in the Ministry of the Interior, Kalin Stoyanov, Peevski's minister. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was taken over, the former interior minister is convinced.
Regarding the social tension, Demerdzhiev said that the salaries of the policemen should be increased. The problem is that the promised increase is not financially secured.
Part of the House book is empty, and the unprecedented parliamentary crisis is due to the fact that the Speaker of the National Assembly is a potential acting Prime Minister, according to him. Thus, according to Demerdzhiev, changes in the Constitution create crises.
Many times we witness the fight against corruption, which turns into a club, said Ivan Demerdzhiev. Every day you can see who the prosecutor's office works for, he stressed.
We enter Schengen riven by divisions and must come to terms with new realities. The protection of the external borders is a priority of the EU and the Bulgarian authorities must provide compensatory measures so that we do not face similar queues as the ones that exist now. "I hope that active work will be done towards this, but I don't have those impressions," said Demerdzhiev. According to him, it doesn't matter that a caretaker government brings us into "Schengen", but we need to find a new goal for the future authorities to strive to achieve.
