“My faith in I.F. Ch. prosecutor Mr. Sarafov is under all criticism. What we have seen so far is that he is engaged in semi-political affairs. It closes the case or the investigation about the bars and bundles, it closes “Barcelonagate”, and we see nothing real from the anti-corruption cases and investigations. Our trust in this i.f. Ch. prosecutor is below any level”, commented Kiril Petkov.
Regarding Borisov’s comments, Petkov stated: “What I want to say to Borisov is – first of all, if he wants to talk, he can always call, and not talk through the media. I hope that in the first days of September let’s continue the communication. The second thing that worries me a lot is that last time the government fell, it was mainly because of the road repair contracts. We wanted to release them completely transparently – the money goes to real construction, not to sacks. This, what is happening right now is Minister Tsekov is re-launching procurement in the most transparent way electronically and at the lowest cost. There can be no corruption now. And now the question will be whether the same economic interests that brought down the previous government will start to shake the current one as well? Because I know that it is about hundreds of millions and above all about the honest construction of these roads”. This was stated by the co-chairman of “Continuing the Change”.
Petkov: The president simply does not want his chief secretary to be replaced
“September, we have to break it down by day. There is an awful lot of legislation that needs to happen in September. We need to fix the anti-corruption law together with GERB and I hope that we will have a real law”, added Petkov.
He also commented on the show murder of Alexei Petrov: “It is simply insane that in 2023 we have show murders and at the same time the security services are not reformed. You see that the president did not ask for the change of the highest position in the professional part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I’m sure he will do the same for DANS. The question to GERB is – why are we not introducing the reform laws for 3 months? They must decide whether they are with the president or support the reforms in the services”.
“Mr. Bozhkov, you know that he is charged under the Magnitsky Law.” You know that Mr. Goranov is charged with bribery, also under this law. And now it is important to understand, after the investigations of the prosecutor’s office – will there be exoneration and cover-up, from my point of view, or will some truths be found? We know that “Magnitsky” was given to both of them. I expect the prosecutor’s office and the Bulgarian court to do their work without being influenced by political events”, commented Petkov regarding the case with Vasil Bozhkov.
