Simeon Saxe-Coburg has issued a statement to the press Friday, in which he condemns the Bulgarian parliamentary moratorium on his property as illegal and unconstitutional.
The press statement said that this action "showed a disregard for the rule of law and was a flagrant violation of the Constitution of Bulgaria."
"One of the most important achievements of democracy is the inviolability of private property and equal rights and obligations of all Bulgarian citizens. Their violation takes us back to one of the darkest periods in our history in which the state was overtaken by a totalitarian regime whose categorical rejection we celebrated last month," the statement continued.
"The conclusion imposes itself even more noticeably that this fictional case study was prompted by vengeful intents and purposes to defame the Tsar's family. That decision is not a legal issue, but shows purely political and ideological motives.
"Let us not forget that we are in the 21st century, that Bulgaria is an equal member of the European and not of the Soviet Union, and let us not allow parliament to become the so-called "People's Court" of 1946," the official release read.
Meanwhile, the National Movement for Stability and Progress (NDSV), led until recently by Saxe-Coburg, announced that they would approach the Bulgarian Constitutional Court through the Ombudsman, alleging violations of the Constitution through the imposition of the moratorium.
"With today's adoption of the moratorium over the private property of the legally qualified Simeon Saxe-Coburg, the Bulgarian National Assembly demonstrated a violation of the Constitution and the International Charter of Human Rights. The National Assembly intervened in the rights of the court, it replaced it, and turned into a convention," declared the NDSV.
