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
Bulgaria’s far-right, nationalist Ataka party submitted Thursday a proposal for amendments of the Radio and TV Act.
The changes involve canceling TV news broadcasts in languages other than Bulgarian. The proposal is signed by 14 Members of the Parliament (MPs), including the leader of Ataka, Volen Siderov.
Ataka base their request on the motive that the current directives allow inadmissible opportunities for some minorities to stir separatist feelings.
“Bulgaria is a state of one nationality and it is unacceptable to have any divisions on ethnic or racial bases,” the proposal reads, citing Article 4 of the Bulgarian Constitution which postulates Bulgarian is the official language of the country. According to Ataka, the Article means that information broadcasts on State radio and TV in languages other than Bulgarian are illegal.
Kazak, who is a Member of the European Parliament from Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), told his colleagues the move is a sign of intolerance and discrimination and will deprive Bulgaria's largest minority of the right to receive information in their native language.
