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.

The political party “Velichie”, represented in the 51st National Assembly, has expressed in a statement to the media its concern over systematic institutional pressure and political persecution to which it claims to be subjected.

Provoked by Borisov’s remarks, the diplomatic mission sent an official statement to the media “in response to recent statements by Mr Boyko Borisov, chairman of the GERB party and member of the Bulgarian National Assembly, regarding his talks with former UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron (2023-2024) on the issue of sanctions.”
