Our reading of the saga with our MEP is that we are currently witnessing perhaps the most significant corruption scandal in the activities of the European Prosecutor's Office. We have three elements that are a precedent. First of all, we have a European Prosecutor who is being threatened and at the same time this European Prosecutor is indicating that our institutions are obstructing investigations, said in "The Day Begins" PP-DB MP Vasil Pandov.
For the first time, the European Prosecutor's Office is launching an internal investigation into its investigation.
"This is not about the personality of the European Prosecutor, but about an institutional scandal with European dimensions. As you know, we have already notified the European Public Prosecutor's Office to launch an investigation and protect all witnesses in the case.
The scandal with "Chiren" is not new, Pandov added - "The Anti-Corruption Fund has been publishing on the subject for years and Peevski's name has long been in these publications". Malinov was also promoted in Glavchev's government, he specified.
"So that two of those involved in this scandal - Malinov and Ilkov - later became ministers. That is, this is a scandal that is a test for the European Public Prosecutor's Office. Because at least our party does not have much trust in the Bulgarian Public Prosecutor's Office.".
He expressed hope that the truth will be reached. If Teodora Georgieva was elected in some dishonest way - this has nothing to do with the PP-DB, Pandov said.
In his words, "the new majority in parliament is trying to sell us a false dilemma, a false compromise that Bulgaria's Euro-Atlanticism deserves a compromise with the fight against corruption".
"Borisov and Peevski are trying to convince the public of this".
GERB is necessary for Peevski, added Vasil Pandov, "because they are the largest party, they have the greatest electoral support. Peevski is currently consuming the electoral power of GERB, and the BSP and ITN are in the role of subcontractors and are tamed by Mr. Peevski".
"In fact, at the moment the pro-Russian parties in the National Assembly that we see - "Velichy", "Vazrazhdane", MECH, they are using this weakness of this supposedly pro-European coalition".
When you don't fight corruption - this is a Euro-Atlanticism emptied of content, Vasil Pandov was categorical.
