Bulgaria: DPS Nominates Elena Yoncheva for MEP
The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) in Blagoevgrad has nominated Elena Yoncheva as a candidate for the European Parliament, sparking intense debate and speculation
The Sofia Regional Court began Wednesday the trial of Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, who is being sued for libel.
The defamation case has been filed by the leader of the Bulgarian conservative Order, law and Justice Party, RZS, Yane Yanev.
Yanev's lawyer and fellow party member, Emil Vasilev, says Tsvetanov had insulted the RZS leader by labeling him in a TV interview as "political racketeer and a fraud."
According to Vasilev, the Minister launched the insults as soon as the Conservatives made public information about his wealth and properties and the "strange way he purchased apartments in upscale Sofia districts from a company associated with the ethnic Turkish party, Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS."
The lawyer further informs a civil claim has not been filed, because Yanev did not want a penny from Tsvetanov's "dirty money."
The Court will convene on the case again on April 12.
