We see actions for buying votes, but it does not reach the top of the pyramids, the guarantors. When it comes to buying votes, most often it comes down to the first person, to the person “bushing” according to the scheme, which is complicated. Purely and simply he can collect the identity cards or somehow go to the store where the versions are and fix some accounts where quick credits are given. Such people are used because they are most in contact with a given contingent of people and have influence. This is what he announced to Lili Marinkova in the "FACTS" studio. and the show “Conversation“ Rosen Tsvetkov, member of the National leadership of the "Conservative Bulgaria" party.
“There are also various people with a criminal past who in small and medium-sized settlements are informal lenders of loans and money. We know how very often in small settlements there are so-called loan sharks who do not have a license, but take advantage of the living situation in Bulgaria,”, the guest added.
“I cannot say that the buying of votes reached BGN 500-600. The question is different. Basically votes to be marketed have some logistics behind them. There are people who can guarantee 100 or 200 people. He may or may not give them money, he may even threaten them in some way. There are such local “leaders” who fear the people below them. This happens in places where the state is absent. Thus these local "leaders", local goons have become strong and enjoy some public trust. If such a person goes out and tells 100-200 people that they should go vote, they are very likely to follow him. Such a person is usually an intermediary between the community and the municipality when wood needs to be provided, when something else needs to be done. These local "leaders“ they have a serious lobby and this makes people tend to vote for whoever they are told to vote for, Rosen Tsvetkov also said.
