The Ministry of the Interior, or the Ministry of the Sea and Ludicrous Events

“Police shooting at the boys in Pleven is harassment”. He announced this to journalists in June this year. Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov during the event in did a police officer kill and injure a young man in the city. “This is a very unprofessional and incompetent question. The law clearly states when you can shoot,” the head of the Ministry of the Interior also said.

“This is a very serious and terrible event,” said Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov on August 13 this year in Plovdiv. “There are many questions – how is there a seven-year-old child one of the special units and how he had a gun in his hands. It’s a matter of finding out if it happened another time,” said Stoyanov.

After such examples and values, it is increasingly difficult to guide one whether the Ministry of Interior is a department that is not only under the law and the constitution, but actually protecting life, health and property of people, or is it more and more. more ministry of anger and offensive events

the interior minister himself described the situation

Anyone who watched and read about yesterday’s protests by police officers from the most elite departments of the Ministry of the Interior must have seen how they acted, as well as the senior management of the Ministry of the Interior. – inside, a complaint that someone was trying to use the ministry for political purposes in an unprecedented way, that the bet was a professional honor, that it had to be shown that the Ministry of the Interior was not a scythe in political battles, that only professionals worked in the ministry. The minister also came to his defense with accusations that there was a strong desire to control the Ministry of the Interior, attempts to use the system “as a political chewing gum and a punching bag to use”, which was only for the citizens, that now everything is in the hands of professionals only.

All the things that perhaps the minister himself does not believe. Because there are not just one or two cases of serious breaches under the current guidance of the Ministry of the Interior.

One does not have to go back too far to remember

the story of the youth who were beaten when they stopped the protest against BFS

on November 16 Then the interior minister Kalin Stoyanov himself almost escaped leaving after even the prime minister asked him to resign, but he refused to leave and washed his hands of some anonymous critics. The association did not find out the names of the guilty “robocops”.

“As a result of our quick actions regarding the police officers and the events of that night, 4 disciplinary actions were initiated. There is a precedent here in the MIA system, where these disciplinary cases were investigated in about 20 days. completed and at the moment we have four employees in the Ministry of the Interior dismissed,” Stoyanov said at the time, but did not specify who the police were, what exactly they did, who and how they did the case

found illegal use of physical force against citizens

no need for it.

Then came the tragedy in Stara Zagora, where Plamen Penev, a 58-year-old republican wrestling champion, died after a police chase and during an arrest attempt. Then the interior minister hesitated before acting. Finally, out of shame, he requested the release of two senior officers from the ODMVR-Stara Zagora – the deputy director, who at the time of the incident was replacing the director the regional management, and the head of the security police”. And this happened after several days, the Ministry of the Interior and especially the Ministry of the Interior and Communications-Stara Zagora denied that they had any fault in the case: “Our staff did not show -work any attack towards the person “and” is not certain data that the death occurred because of police officers.” According to a well-practiced situation, some critics were arrested and

promising that such a thing will not be done again

and then this incident was quickly forgotten.

Then there was the incident with a 19-year-old killed by a policeman in Pleven, who miraculously survived a police chase. The injured man and three other boys also suffered a greater tragedy after the police fired at the car in which they were riding. The police said that they did not stop, but the youth told another version – that they entered the city with a car that was driving slowly, but did not allow themselves to overtake them. “Then he saw me, blew his horn and we stopped. It was a civilian car with very big men. They didn’t introduce themselves as police. We got scared and let’s go,” said the young man behind the wheel. “We thought they were bandits and they want to do something to us. We left and a shot rang out. The boy next to me was crying in pain,” he said. After a 4-hour operation, the injured young man was saved.

It then became clear that the officer who fired the shot was not detained because he was cooperating with the investigation. Otherwise, from the prosecution of the state

described as “impossible” and “unacceptable” the answer

to the MIA worker and said he fired with a personal weapon. And that’s it. The parents of the children, who even gave a press conference on the matter, asked for justice and punishment for the police officer, but it is still not clear what exactly they did, both in the Ministry of the Interior and in the prosecutor’s office.

To get to the current case in Plovdiv, where a 7-year-old boy accidentally killed his father, a special police officer.

Undoubtedly, this is a terrible tragedy – both family and police. One can hardly even imagine what it is like for this family, for this child, for his colleagues.

At the same time, however, it is more absurd for the police chiefs to ask themselves questions like how did the child end up there, how did he manage to get the weapon, shoot. It is absurd, because they are the leaders of these people, of this system, and their job is not to ask questions, but to give answers and take responsibility, which is undertaken by a person -any increase in such cases. It does not matter if such a tragedy is called by the minister a “stupid incident” and if he is humiliated by asking four to resign at the regional level.

Because if something like this could happen in one of the most elite units not only in the Ministry of the Interior, but also in the entire security system, with one of the instructors best shooting and parachuting, one just wonders what can happen in the most common places in the system.
