The prominent right-wing politician from Varna, Tsanko Tsvetanov, announced Wednesday he was withdrawing from active political life.
Tsvetanov, who is the Deputy Chair of the Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) and Chair of the UDF branch in the Bulgarian Black Sea capital Varna, cites as reason the arrest of his son Georgi on murder charges.
Tsvetanov's son is accused of the brutal killing of Varna college student, 21-year-old Radositna Eftimova. Her body was found in an apartment in Varna in the beginning of March with over 50 knife wounds. The murder sent shock waves across the country and triggered mass student protests.
Despite mounting evidence, Georgi Tsvetanov, who faces life in prison, refuses to collaborate with the authorities, and continues to deny any involvement in the murder.
The elder Tsvetanov further stated in a special press release that he was convinced that a fair investigation based on the law without any political and public influence was much needed in order for the culprits to be punished.
It was reported earlier that UDF members have been pressuring Tsvetanov to resign over the murder scandal.
