Bulgaria right-wing ruling coalition: Bulgaria Right-Wingers Accuse Prosecutors of Vested Interests

Ivan Kostov, leader of Bulgaria's die-hard rightists and former prime minister, has accused the prosecutor's office of serving the interests of the ruling coalition.

"The annual report of the prosecutor's office does not even mention any of the plot murders, nor the four cases against Interior Minister Rumen Petkov, which have been suspended for no clear reason," Kostov, head of the Democrats for Strong Bulgaria, said during the debates of the report.

According to him the report is drowned in statistical data and gives no indication of the expected turnabout in the work of the prosecutor's office.

Interestingly, the ruling Socialists' most outspoken member Tatyana Doncheva stood by the opinion of Ivan Kostov, saying such statements were not without grounds.

Doncheva pointed out as an example the case against former fire-brigade head Gen. Kiril Voynov, who was accused of malfeasance in office over the alleged misuse of office mobile phones.

"Prosecutors should find the golden section between PR events and reality, even though I know for sure there are ministers who take reality for a PR event," she added.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
