- Is it possible that after his long career in power, Rashkov was not checked for connections with the DS
Boyko Rashkov is synonymous with retribution. It is a mantra that the left-liberal elite passionately hammers into the head of the Bulgarian voter. A Jedi wielding the Force! Anyone who questions his virtuous nature is serving the dark side.
The suggestion planted two years ago has captured the minds of its creators. The change, the socialists and the “city right” no longer even consider it necessary to explain why they have emblazoned Rashko’s face on the anti-corruption banner.
Why are they raising a communist self-awareness with fixed ideas about “former people” into a cult?
Why do they accept it as a mandatory condition for forming a government?
And why do they allow his name to appear in parentheses in a draft management program?
They wave him proudly like Levski, with his energy they feed their sense of infallibility. “DPS, GERB, ITN, when they found out that Boyko Rashkov could become the chairman of KPCONPI… they went crazy,” says Georgi Svilenski, head of the PG of the BSP. Prime Minister Kiril Petkov expressly warns that the PP will not back down from the condition to its coalition partners that Rashkov be elected.
On July 19 of this year, the resigned Minister of Justice Nadezhda Yordanova assures that the DB will support Rashkov. Three days later, the MPs from the coalition voted in parliament “against” the requirement that the future head of KPCONPI not be connected to State Security. Immediately afterwards, they swear in front of the cameras that if, God forbid, Rashkov turns out to be an agent or an informer, they will not support him. No one’s “virginity” has ever been defended at the cost of so many political reputations.
It is interesting why today the shadow of the DS hangs so suddenly over this world, after having held leading positions and it is logical that he was the subject of an inspection by the dossier commission?
During the administration of the UDS, while Rashkov was at the head of the national investigation, his affiliation with the secret services was not investigated because the “Kostov” office refused to open the archives of the DS. This happened as late as 2006, while the “weapon of retribution” led a department in the National Security Service (now DANS).
In Stanishev’s office, he was the Deputy Minister of Justice, then he was chosen to head the Bureau for the Control of Special Intelligence Means. The majority in the “Oresharski” cabinet appointed him for a 5-year term in the same position. In the two official governments of Stefan Yanev, he was Minister of Internal Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, under Kiril Petkov he remained the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is it possible that until now he has not been checked for work history in DS? Could the doubt be creeping in because of last year’s testimony of director Yevgeny Mihailov that Rashkov interrogated him for over 20 hours in the 1990s as a junior investigator in the People’s Militia?
Dr. Asparuh Iliev, a Bulgarian scientist working in Switzerland and Germany, an outspoken sympathizer of the “Change” and a friend of the Laurer family, wrote about the Feldfebel in question: “Someone can call me an ideological extremist, but I don’t understand why the face Rashkov as an old a cop closely related to the services and the BSP is so irreplaceably needed as the head of the KPKONPI. There are individuals in our services without his baggage of the past, who are younger and better trained and much more trustworthy to our Western partners.” The scientist’s reaction is in unison with the director Stoyan Radev’s comment: “There is ideological corruption and corruption created by the BKP/BSP, which has permeated everyone’s lives generation after generation and has become part of the genetic code of Bulgarians. Why are they afraid of Boyko Rashkov, of the face, the intonation, the behavior that bring us back to those times? It is clear that the BSP has no shame, but how is it possible that young politicians with a supposedly democratic profile are not ashamed? And for the anti-communists from DB… it is better to remain silent.” If we paraphrase Petkov, the distrust of Rashkov that has arisen in some social strata means that the “weapon of retribution” has broken.
* In mid-June, Kiril Petkov said in the parliament in response to a journalist’s question the strange sentence: “The economy collapsed in the first quarter”.
