In the interest of truth, there is no danger for this files commission, because the curtain has already been opened to some extent. We are used to having debates about files about some interpersonal relationships, throwing files during and before elections. This exists in the political elite, in the media environment. After all, the commission works under a law that was adopted years ago with great consensus. The law was created by Kasim Dal, Tatyana Doncheva, Mincho Spasov, etc. The matter is fiery, dangerous. We were reproached a lot - especially before elections, by political opponents, that you see, some files will be taken out at a time when political matters need to be decided. Also, many media outlets promoted the work of the files commission. The true nature of the content of these archives, that they contain great secrets, was debunked. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTS“ and the program “Conversation“ by Evtim Kostadinov, former chairman of the Commission on Files.
“Now new people have been appointed who will work. I am always ready to give credit to the new people. It is true that the people who were elected as the new members of this commission have a political biography and I know most of them, but I do not want to believe that they will succumb to political pressure. And there were serious considerations towards us that we could hardly improvise with the information in the files. I am talking especially about the first term - 2007-2012. The Commission is a collective body and I personally called on my colleagues in this term to forget political bias and during these five years to adhere to compliance with the law. Previously, there were representatives of all political forces in the commission, and now we see representatives of three political forces and no representative of the opposition. I would say that this worries me a little, but I hope that those who were elected will show political impartiality in their work,“ added the guest.
