The political landscape in Bulgaria met with a great storm. This is written in a comment by Balcanicaucaso.
This week, the United States took action against leading figures in the country. The US accounts of figures such as Delyan Peevski and Vasil Bozhkov were frozen.
They are said to be part of serious corruption schemes. They are banned from traveling to the United States, and their property is frozen there.
This happened just before the early elections in the country. Peevski’s name is well known to anyone interested in Bulgarian events.
He was an MP and heads a large media group in the country. He is perceived as the face of non-transparent governance.
Bozhkov developed a large gambling business, which was protected by his partnership with representatives of various governments. Last year, however, he was charged with a number of crimes and withdrew to Dubai.
He has been working on his party for the last year. For both businessmen, American actions are difficult to accept.
In fact, anyone who decides to cooperate with their companies internationally will risk criminal consequences. The United States denies their decision to be related to the situation in Bulgaria.
The April elections in the country led to such a ratio. GERB won the election, but had no support for forming a government, while opposition parties failed to agree on a common cabinet.
The head of state Rumen Radev scheduled a new vote and appointed an official cabinet. However, this government has demonstrated that it does not intend to limit itself to holding the next vote.
Changes in leading positions in almost all areas have begun. It is believed that society widely supports such actions.
A number of irregularities in GERB’s mandate were revealed. The situation remains unclear, but US action is providing some direction.
Borissov has proved that he can lead Bulgaria to its main partners. The eyes often fall on the United States and Germany.
However, the US administration seems to strongly reject it work of the resigned Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. Probably the EU can accept this example and Borissov’s period will end soon.
