Demerdzhiev: I doubt that the state wants to find Pepi Euroto  - 1

If the state wanted to find Petyo Petrov - Pepi Euroto, this would have happened. From time to time, documents leak from his archive. From there it becomes clear who has an interest in his activities not being revealed.

This was stated to bTV by former interior minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, quoted by news.bg.

There is a permanent staff shortage of at least 10% in the Ministry of Interior. If pensioners are released, it may turn out that entire units cannot perform their tasks. Police officers in the field cannot work without administration. In some places, it is inflated, he pointed out.

According to him, the National Assembly has already voted to increase salaries. According to him, one cannot think post facto where this money will come from. Demerdzhiev emphasized that if the Ministry of Interior is not managed well, the results are bad. The police officers on the ground are not to blame for this, he added.

Demerdzhiev also touched on the topic of yesterday's protest in Vazrazhdane, during which an attempt was made to storm the EC building in Sofia. He pointed out that the tension in society has been brewing for a long time. According to him, citizens have reservations about the introduction of the euro, which have not been taken into account by the government. The relationship between those in power and citizens has been broken. That is why such situations arise, he believes.

According to him, the protesters have no excuse to attack employees of the Ministry of Interior. Demerdzhiev stated that the police cannot be held responsible for failing to stop the protest. He believes that the police officers were faced with a fait accompli. According to him, the question of whether the actions of the uniformed officers were adequate is another matter.

Demerdzhiev recalled that years ago, when paint was poured on the building of the National Assembly, it was said that this was an expression of a civic position, and now when the same is being done to the building of the European Commission, it is vandalism. According to him, this is a manifestation of double standards.
