Taking pictures with a phone of how the machine works, I don’t see how it can threaten the electoral process. The machine is currently printing the ballot, which is then counted by hand, separately it is not counting anything at the moment, so it is currently one printer, there is no way they will lie to you, Finance Minister Asen Vasilev told bTV.
After voting, nobody does anything with the machines, then they are collected and then used for the second round, he specified. The paper vote has always been problematic. The Ministry of the Interior was active in these elections, we from the PP filed a lot of signals about organized vote buying. In 20 regions of the country, there were 30 settlements, perhaps, where there was information about buying votes. This time, the minister said that more reports were investigated than last time, Vasilev pointed out. GRAO published dubious registrations for the first time, Vassilev noted.
Regarding Russia’s gas tax, Vassilev said that it is a tax that has the character of an excise tax. It is not something new for our energy sector. All electricity producers contribute a similar fee to a security fund, this has existed since 2013, 2014, this is not an innovation. We imposed this on the import of the transit of Russian gas through Bulgaria, in this case, Vassilev said
