According to former Interior Minister Emanuil Yordanov, the Interior Minister should not resign in connection with the case of the murdered border policeman near Elhovo.
In the show “This is Bulgaria” on Radio “Focus” Yordanov stressed that the mandate of the provisional government is running out: it is a matter of days and the resignation would be extremely ridiculous at the moment.
“Furthermore, I repeat again, we have no clarity on this case. And looking for someone to blame, even if it was him and the Minister of the Interior, is a bit strange.
Regarding the fact that the request is made by the leader of the GERB Boyko BorisovEmanuil Yordanov said: “We remember, for example, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Boyko Borisov when did you resign – after the murder of Mr. Mile, after the murder of Stoil Slavov, after the murder of the three Russians, after the murders in the café “Art Decor”, etc., etc.?
“If we are to be honest, I don’t think there is a significant increase in migrant pressure,” Yordanov added. “There has been illegal migration all this time, including the long years that GERB ruled. It’s a separate issue that they bragged relentlessly – I even looked a while ago. Desislava Atanasovawhich explained how a living person did not pass through Bulgaria at the time he was running the GERB, which can clearly be called an absolute falsehood, “he added.
When asked what adequate measures should be taken to modernize the border guard, the former interior minister stressed that if we are to talk about modernization, first of all it goes through equipment that costs money. Of course they are not foreseen in the budget.
“Furthermore, modernization also implies improving the working conditions of people – border policemen or military personnel. You cannot leave people with a salary that is not enough to provide for their lives and expect notable successes from them. Also, you shouldn’t. do not let it forget that not only the Ministry of the Interior deals with border protection and illegal immigration problems, there are also other bodies – there is the Refugee Agency, there are local authorities, including the Prosecutor’s Office . any statistics on how many cases have been opened in the last 10 years regarding illegal trafficking, “Emanuil Yordanov also said.
