Diana Damyanova: Law enforcement agencies recognized Yavor as a drug addict and therefore they were aggressive  - 1

Due to the case of Yavor Georgiev, who died in Varna, in which there are suspicions of police violence, the Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov removed the chief of the Varna police. GERB criticized Mitov, but the leader of "New Beginning" Delyan Peevski supported him.

This situation is unusual, because all of Borisov's governments and Borisov himself have always had an excessive passion to quickly punish any offense in order to see how the people's voice is heard. A few mistakes have also been made in these quick punishments. The current situation in Varna is paradoxical from several points of view, commented on the program "Face to Face" on BTV PR expert Diana Damyanova.

The Bulgarian police have created hatred for drug addicts for 30 years. Any person with a deep trouser leg is subjected to a regime that other citizens are not subjected to. On the other hand, there is no doubt that unlawful violence was used, she said.

For 30 years you have had a malnourished, underpaid, humiliated, mafia-subordinated police force and now we want poor Daniel Mitov to re-educate them in 6 months. This passion of these people to treat drug addicts with violence has continued. These are the same police officers who run them over. The picture is not black and white. It has a political response, Diana Damyanova pointed out.

The law enforcement agencies recognized Yavor as a drug addict and that's why they were aggressive, Damyanova said.

She believes that the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs need to be reeducated.

According to the PR expert, we should not talk about degradation, but about a damaged population from a moral point of view.
