Bulgaria's Borissov Calls for Suspension of Media Grants Amid Budget Controversy
Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, escalated his criticism of Bulgarian media outlets receiving grants today, calling for the suspension of such funding
Delyan Peevski, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) parliamentary group chairman, has officially filed a report with the Bulgarian Interior Ministry and the State Agency for National Security (SANS). His request seeks an investigation into how a Russia 1 TV team was permitted entry into Bulgaria, despite the network being on the EU's list of banned media outlets.
In a statement released by the DPS press center, Peevski expressed concern over the allowance of a media outlet banned within the EU and recognized as a platform for the Russian war machine to operate within Sofia. Peevski condemned this action as a direct challenge to the rule of law, European values, and the sanctions imposed on Russia. He highlighted Russia's declaration of Bulgaria as a hostile nation and cited an incident two months prior, where a Bulgarian National Radio correspondent was expelled from Russia.
