  • Political Impasse in Bulgaria | May 2021
    BULGARIAN CARETAKER GOVERNMENT as of May 2021 The Caretaker Government is positioning itself as one stepping in to manage a smooth transition, improve Bulgaria’s public image and continue the economic/public health recovery. While the vast political and corporate experience of the cabinet members is seen as a reassuring signal, the appointment of Stefan Yanev, the chief presidential security and defense advisor as caretaker PM, as well as the composition of the caretaker Cabinet have led to speculation that President Radev is looking to exert control over the political landscape. If the snap elections scheduled for July do not produce a stable governing coalition, the Caretaker Government is likely to emerge as a major stakeholder Stefan Yanev Prime Minister A retired brigadier general who has served the last four years as security adviser to President Rumen Radev; an alumnus of the National War College in Washington, Defence Minister in the previous caretaker government appointed by Radev in 2017 Deputy Prime Ministers Galab Donev Boyko Rashkov Atanas Pekanov Deputy Prime Minister Deputy Prime Minister for Public Deputy Prime Minister for for Economic and Social Policies Order and Security European Funds Management and Minister of Labour and Social and Minister of the Interior Policy An economist at the Austrian Institute The most iconic figure in the new for Economic Research (WIFO) Former Secretary of Social Policy and Cabinet; rejected by GERB because and doctoral student at the University Health since May 2017, holding the post he interfered with its willingness of Economics and Business (WU Wien), of Minister in the same department to control the SRS (special intelligence where he teaches.

  • Framing and Raiding
    Framing and Raiding Radosveta Vassileva 2021-06-09T10:54:17 In early June 2021, Bulgaria’s Prosecutor’s Office raided the Ministry of Interior and raised charges against a senior employee. According to the Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov, the goal of the Prosecutor’s Office is to sabotage an inquiry into illegal wiretapping. The senior employee who was charged indeed participated in the inquiry. A similar raid against the Bulgarian Presidency in July 2020 during which two of the President’s advisors were arrested sparked mass protests demanding the resignation of both Borissov’s government and General Prosecutor Ivan Geshev which lasted for months. Bulgaria’s Prosecutor’s Office is a Kafkaesque institution rather than a mere threat against the rule of law. Its crushing yet unrestrained authority is used as a weapon against the opponents of the status quo and a laundry detergent for corrupt politicians. Wiretapping the Opposition In democracies, wiretapping may be authorized under strict conditions to help investigate serious crime. The Law on Special Intelligence Means (LSIM) provides detailed instructions about the relevant procedures. However, the law in the books and the law in action severely differ. From the Yaneva Gate scandal which shook Bulgaria in 2015, citizens learned that judges authorized wiretapping without even reading the case materials and satisfied all whims of the Prosecutor’s Office. In the current controversy, Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov confirmed that many opposition politicians, including the current Prime Minister Stefan Yanev, had been illegally wiretapped after the start of the mass protests last year. He also disclosed that he had received information that DANS (Bulgaria’s secret services) were destroying proof related to these severe breaches of the law.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: CHen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Symbolic Attempt for Rapprochement and Renewal of the Dialogue Between Bulgaria and the Republic of Northern Macedonia Summary From May 26 to 28, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev visited the Vatican and the Italian Republic. The President led the Bulgarian delegation, which was traditionally received by the head of the Roman Catholic Church on the occasion of the Day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius, the Bulgarian alphabet, education and culture and Slavic literature - May 24. During the visit, the head of Bulgarian state visited the holy places for Bulgarians. In order to pay tribute to the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius in Rome, this year a delegation from the Republic of Northern Macedonia, led by President Stevo PendarovsKi, was traveling with the Bulgarian delegation. This act of joint celebrating the memory of the founders of Slavic literature and culture creates a precondition for raproachment between Bulgaria and the Republic of Northern Macedonia, which is extremely important in view of the negotiations between the Republic of Northern Macedonia and the EU for accession of the BalKan state in the Union. Less than a month ago, the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev appointed a caretaker government with a mandate of two months, which should organize and hold early parliamentary elections.
