Bulgaria's former Vice President Angel Marin has pointed out that he pardoned fewer criminals than his predecessor.
It recently emerged that Marin pardoned a total of 533 felons during his two terms in office, including many murderers.
In an interview for the private bTV channel on Sunday, the former Vice President argued that his predecessor had pardoned more than 1000 criminals during his 5-year term (1997-2002).
Marin further stated that the recent attacks against him are a part of the current centrist-right GERB government's efforts to defame all previous governments and all parties that do not support them.
On Friday, sixty Bulgarian MPs signed a petition to establish an inquiry committee to probe the pardons and the Bulgarian citizenship granted by the former Vice President.
It has been claimed that Angel Marin may have been "illegal" as Vice President during the second term of Bulgaria's President, Georgi Parvanov, who left office a week days ago because Parvanov failed to issue a decree authorizing the mandate of the Vice President from 2007 to 2012.
