The leader of COAT OF ARMS
GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in must pay the former chief of staff of the ex-Minister of the Interior Boyko Rashkov
Rashkov was born on September 28, 1954 in the village of Ognyanovo, Blagoevgrad region. Graduated from Sofia Law School Elena Ficherova, EURACTIV reported, citing court records.
Ficherova filed a lawsuit for BGN 10,000, angered by Borisov’s words at a press conference on June 3 of this year, at which he defamed her without naming her. The leader of COAT OF ARMSGERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in however, he left no doubt as to who his words were referring to, saying that he meant Rashkov’s chief of staff.
“…yesterday she resigned. When? When everything that interested her in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the services, she took it to inform the one who sent her there. There was no other explanation. I have no other explanation.” Borisov said.
Ficherova resigned days after taking the post in the Ministry of the Interior. The department’s press center explained that her decision was motivated by the desire not to cause negative things for the political cabinet.
Elena Ficherova’s name made headlines immediately after it became known that she would head Rashkov’s political cabinet. She was associated with the party of Vasil Bozhkov
Vasil Krumov Bozhkov was born on July 29, 1956 in Velingrad. Bozhkov is a Bulgarian businessman, headed by “Bulgarian summer” – she was a candidate for a member of parliament, but later on her own Will
Volya is a Bulgarian liberal political party. It was founded on July 15, 2007 at the initiative of is deleted from the list.
At the beginning of 2020, Ficherova was disciplinary dismissed from KPCONPI. In its position, the commission claims that the reason is a conflict of interest because it participated in a procedure for its own appointment as a director in a directorate.
In May 2018, it was ordered to carry out a selection among employees with managerial positions for the position of “Director of the Coordination, Coordination and Interaction Directorate”. Three appear, among them Ficherova herself. She was appointed and her salary increased.
“In practice, the one-day “stay” of Elena Ficherova-Karaivanova in the position of director was carried out only for the purpose of creating a basis for increasing her remuneration. In August 2019 and February 2020, the individual monthly remuneration of Ficherova was increased”, they explained at the time from KPCONPI.
In her claim against Borisov, Ficherova says that the false statements are aimed at discrediting her and implying that she was not appointed due to personal and professional qualities, but to export and provide information about the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the services of “the one who sent her there “.
According to her, she was worried about herself and her loved ones because there were allegations that she had committed a crime, such as the transmission of classified information.
Borisov replied that in his statement Ficherova was neither named nor referred to, therefore her honor and good name were not affected. According to him, she interpreted his statements in her own way and that, having held a position in an institution, she should be prepared to endure criticism, as it is not permissible to restrict freedom of speech.
The SRS accepted a forensic psychological examination, from which it was established that Borisov’s statement that he was giving information was a stressful event for Ficherova, during which she had an adjustment disorder – anxiety, restlessness, a sense of inability to cope with the situation, to plan for the future , to some extent disrupts the performance of routine daily activities, the court decision explained.
The court does not agree with Borisov that it cannot be proven who is the addressee of his statement. He doesn’t just talk about the chief of staff, but explicitly states that she resigned the day before. This clearly and unambiguously proves that he is talking about Ficherova.
The decision of the district court is not final and may be appealed to a higher court.
