Today, absurd suggestions and ironic insinuations are being made that almost everyone who was in any way connected to Velichie is either a traitor or must publicly “distance themselves” to instil an image of decay and failure. Thus, political debate is being replaced with a gossipy chronicle, and opponents demonstrate not strength, but a lack of arguments.

During an on-site inspection, allegations were presented to Svoboden Glas about the existence of an organised criminal group of individuals who, according to testimonies from residents, act in concert.

Lawyer Rastashki, who is an MP from the MECH party, circulated a video in which he claims that in the accounts of lawyer Anatoli Savov, the long-time legal representative of the Historical Park and its largest shareholder, there were “21 million leva” with which the “injured” investors could get their money back if they constituted themselves as victims in the pre-trial proceedings. Presented this way, the suggestion looks like a rescue plan. In reality, it is a dangerous manipulation that can cause serious harm to honest investors.

In recent days, it became clear that the chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Anton Slavchev, in an informal conversation called Ivelin Mihaylov a “fraudster” and the creator of a “50-million pyramid scheme.” This raises the question: why does a person in such a position allow himself to make such accusations while he himself remains in the shadow of serious suspicions of misconduct?
