Bojanov on the accusations against him: Absolute nonsense, I will give myself immunity  - 1

I learned from Peevski's media. From the text that came out, I can say that this is absolute nonsense. These are untrue things, they are fabricated, invented, said in the program "Face to Face" on BTV, the MP from "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" Bozhidar Bojanov in connection with his requested immunity from Acting Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov.

The prosecution claims that sufficient evidence has been collected for Bojanov to be charged with a crime in office. In the period from May 20 to June 17, 2022. in Sofia as Minister of Electronic Governance and contracting authority for public procurement, Bozanov violated his official duties under the Classified Information Protection Act and the Ministry's Internal Rules and provided the executive director of the Agency for Electronic Governance Infrastructure with a flash drive file representing a technical specification, and instructed it to be used to conduct a public procurement for nearly 18 million leva, the state prosecution claims.

Let's remember what Peevski said - that for a bottle of whiskey, Petyo the Euro can fabricate any fiction, so this happened in the "good" style of the prosecution. These are absolute fictions. I have no concerns that this is true, on the first working day of next week - Tuesday, I will give myself immunity. Unfortunately, the prosecutor's office is once again being used for political purposes, Bozanov said.

In response to a question, he specified that he had not been called to give explanations so far, although he had repeatedly stated that he was ready to cooperate with the prosecutor's office.

I believe in the Bulgarian court. It is good that this case has finally left the phase of media speculation and will enter the phase of the criminal trial, where it will turn out that all these things are absolute nonsense. I have done none of what the prosecutor's office claims, pointed out the MP from "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria".

The contract in question was not even signed by me, but by the office later. I read the accusations, everything except the punctuation and grammar is wrong. I call on the prosecution to work objectively and for the court to establish the truth, added Bozhidar Bozhanov.

We expected all these attempts to defame political opponents. This does not mean that we will give up opposing the corruption policies that lead to such acts. We welcome such attempts with calm and faith in the Bulgarian court, he noted.

Bozhanov also commented on the request to lift the immunity of the co-chairman of "We continue the change" Kiril Petkov.

The prosecution claims that it has collected evidence that he committed an attempt at coercion. On October 2, 2023. in a restaurant in Sofia, Petkov attempted to force Alexander Yolovski, Minister of Electronic Governance, to do something against his will.

Bozhidar Bozanov confirmed that he was present at the meeting in question, explaining that the meeting was friendly, in a public place. None of what is being claimed is true, emphasized the MP from "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria".
