The reporting of noisy actions, which obviously did not have the desired effect, cannot change the feeling of the Bulgarian citizens that the Ministry of the Interior failed the task. This is stated in a position of the BSP Executive Bureau sent to the media.
"The numerous reports of violation of electoral legislation, of manipulation of the vote of Bulgarian citizens, of falsification of ballots, addition of votes, of coercive, controlled and bought vote, which flood the public environment in the country after the extraordinary parliamentary elections, impose an immediate and mandatory response from the institutions called to watch over legality", the position states.
"If the analysis of electoral malpractices that the Acting Minister of the Interior claims to provide does not in fact shed light on the initiators and organizers of these illegal acts of distorting and tainting the elections, it will cast serious doubt on independence of law enforcement agencies from behind-the-scenes pressure and generally their ability to fulfill their legal obligations", the position also says.
The Executive Bureau of the BSP calls for an uncompromising, professional and objective investigation of all reports of election crimes and providing the public with the whole truth.
Therefore, they demand a quick response from the prosecutor's office to the created situation and public tension.
"We are facing a real danger to the foundation of the Bulgarian democratic system – parliamentarism, to be irretrievably compromised and destroyed", the position of the Executive Bureau of the BSP also states.
