I didn’t buy Sophie Marinova’s Eurovision win –

Sofia / world today news/ This year’s Eurovision contest was again not without scandals, especially after the Roma boss Georgi Yankov – Zhoro Chernia was named by the press as the person who secured victory for Sofi Marinova.

In the studio of “Hot Point” on TV 7, Georgi Yankov commented that he was misunderstood.
“I didn’t campaign, I just called 3-4 friends to support her. I didn’t buy mobile phone cards to vote with. Sofi Marinova is famous. She’s more famous than DesiSlava. Besides, it’s normal for Roma to vote for the singer of Roma origin. She is our pride,” said Zoro Chernia. He also expressed his conviction that the Roma nightingale will win
the sympathies of the European public and explained that there are about 20 million Roma living in Europe who know Sofi Marinova.

For his part, Mitko Shterev stated in the “Hotspot” studio that it doesn’t matter if there was an organized Roma vote. The Bulgarian people have two rhythms – folk dance and ruchenitsa. Anyone who preaches kuchek as Bulgarian pop music is not Bulgarian. Kuchek is the rhythm of the gypsies and the Turks. I don’t mind them playing it, Zhoro Chernia countered and stated that Sofi Marinova is not a singer, but a modern and beautiful music Bulgarian patent, because this is not Bulgarian music,” Shterev stated with conviction.
