The DPS-DPS will get together, they will make a decision. I cannot comment on it. This was stated by Interior Minister Daniel Mitov to journalists.
If the DPS-DPS decide to leave the government, everything will be decided by the Joint Governance Council, he added.
When asked whether as a minister he is ready to work with another majority and another party, Mitov replied: "We cannot comment on hypotheses. Let's first see the decision of the DPS-DPS and then we will decide who is ready for what".
Regarding the vote of no confidence in the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet, Mitov indicated: "Given the objective circumstances, there is nothing to worry about. There is no way to establish a systemic failure in foreign or other policy after two months of government".
The Ministry of Interior reports over 20% growth in the operation to control the distribution of narcotics in the country. Since the beginning of the year, five specialized police operations have been conducted against drug distribution. As a result, over 4,000 liters of nitrous oxide have been seized. The actions are continuing at the moment, the Minister of Interior also said, quoted by Novini.bg.
According to the Minister of Interior, increased monitoring is also being carried out on websites selling vapes. The work is also carried out with the support of foreign partner services.
Minister Mitov called on citizens to report any illegal activity related to the distribution of narcotics among adolescents.
The Director of the State Department of Internal Affairs Lyubomir Nikolov presented data related to the field work to limit the distribution of narcotics.
„After identifying cases of possession and distribution of laughing gas, we encounter certain difficulties. When identifying a case of possession and distribution of laughing gas, we proceed to invite the owner of the nightclub or the owner to surrender it voluntarily. This happens because this substance is not included in the list of prohibited substances. However, if the owner refuses to surrender it voluntarily, we do not have the right to seize it. There are cases in which we have identified a huge amount of the substance without being able to seize it or initiate pre-trial proceedings. We are in difficulty from the point of view of the Criminal Code, so we call for legislative changes, after which we can punish the guilty persons for the act they committed. I hope that a decision will be made that will make us more effective in carrying out our daily activities, Nikolov urged.
