Journalist Bobby Vaklinov chased Kostadin Kostadinov around the National Assembly (NA) building after it became clear that the leader of ‘Vazrazhdane’ and chairman of the parliamentary committee for Bulgarians living abroad called on Bulgarian volunteers to organize sending generators to Ukraine.
The two literally collided. “I ask Kopeikin, isn’t it hypocritical to HELP UKRAINE considering that he is the leader of a pro-Putin party?” Vaklinov stressed. “It is supreme hypocrisy that you, nicknamed Kopeikin and leader of a pro-Putin party, organize generators for Ukraine, since you are forbidden to enter Ukraine,” the reporter said.
“You told so many lies. You don’t feel bad,” Kostadinov answered.
“Last week you called Manol Peykov to arrange generators for Ukraine,” Vaklinov told him.
“First we sent a letter to the Prime Minister, as it should be, and then we decided to call this civilian activist,” Kostadinov explained.
“Isn’t that hypocritical? You wave Russian flags at neutrality rallies.”
“So you want us not to send aid to the Bulgarians in Ukraine. I have sent 30 tons of aid to Ukraine,” says Kostadinov.
“Is it with generators? You’re turning the tables. You see Russia will lose the war. It’s good if you did, but it’s hypocritical that you do.
“You are a liar. We don’t talk to liars,” Kostadinov snorts.
“This is your rhetoric every time,” Vaklinov said. “Every time Kostadinov doesn’t tell him the truth, he starts repeating as if in a trance that whoever tells him the truth is lying to him”, explained the journalist and recalled a similar case from April this year.
“Don’t come near me,” Kostadinov warns him.
“And why are you approaching,” Vaklinov retorted.
Kostadinov, in turn, accused Vaklinov: “Help those who are killing Bulgarians in Ukraine” (ed., the statement has been refuted several times, including by Bulgarians in Ukraine), writes “Blitz”.
