BSP MP Ivan Ivanov said that the case of those arrested for espionage in the former and current military was a failed attempt at political realization.
Espionage should not be tolerated and prosecuted with the full force of the law, but the action of the services should be with minimal publicity. An intelligence service should work in secrecy. It should not be like “17 moments of spring” (the 1973 Soviet film about a Russian spy introduced to Nazi Germany under the name Stirlitz) and chasing the streets“, Ivanov commented in the show” Offensive with Lubo Ognyanov “on NOVA NEWS.
According to him, the current case is similar to that of Nikolai Malinov (chairman of the Russophile National Movement, who was also accused of espionage), which may have been fabricated.
Later, Manoil Manev from GERB replied in the same program:
–
“The realization is the final stage of an intelligence operation, all the others are over. At that moment, silence is just political talk. Keeping spies was very important. These people do not work on any basis other than money, they are not recruited on the basis of loyalty. and principles “.
According to him, the spies think that the state is not working, and they are the smartest and most cunning, and for 2-3000 dollars they are selling their state – that’s how much the six detained detainees received for their espionage activities. According to the MP, this is self-forgetfulness.
“I do not explain Rade’s silence. How long will the BSP protect the people who sell Bulgaria? And how long will the head of state not intervene and take a stand on this case? “Asked Manev, who is second on GERB’s list in Stara Zagora.
Earlier, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov also hinted that President Rumen Radev had not commented on the spy scandal: “There is radio silence from other institutions in Bulgaria. Many presidents have spoken on the subject.”
