Emil Dechev: The new acting Prosecutor General Vanya Stefanova must also resign  - 1

The threats to the Secretary General show that he is doing his job well. It happened after the elections, because before that there may have been a fear of influencing the election process to the detriment of the authors of the threat. It can be assumed that the threats are also coming because of the possibility of remaining in the regular cabinet. This was said by the acting Minister of Internal Affairs Emil Dechev in the studio of “Na fokus“.

According to him, the threats are probably the work of people who have believed for at least 20 years that they are the masters of the state. He confirmed that the threats in question are related to the former Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (from 2013 to 2015) Svetlozar Lazarov, for whom connections have been established with “Kartof“. “Different people called twice from hidden numbers to warn Georgi Kandev. The aforementioned warning is about the fact that he could be brought in as an accused for extortion or bribery“, he added.

According to him, organizing fair elections is not easy, it requires a lot of effort and round-the-clock work, but it is still possible. “We have achieved a strong limitation of the bought vote. Trust in the electoral process was raised, we convinced people that it makes sense to vote, and before that to submit signals“, said Dechev.

The minister believes that the new I.F. Prosecutor General Vanya Stefanova must also resign.
