“You’re getting hung up.” Bulgarian official reveals that Russia is paying to spread its propaganda

“All those who spit on the EU (European Union) and NATO for nothing, as well as those who support Putin’s action in Ukraine, you should know this. You are being hung up on. Those who inspire you to do so are paid. Every month,” the official said.

She added that some public opinion makers use deception and intimidation.

At the same time, Borislavova emphasized that “disguising the interests of a foreign country as national interests” is a “red line” for the party she represents, “Continuing Change”.

Commenting on Russian ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova’s request to the Bulgarian government to cancel the decision on the expulsion of 70 Russian diplomats and employees of diplomatic missions, the head of the prime minister’s office informed that the government rejected it and that the Russian diplomats, who were declared “persona non grata”, left the country on Sunday.

She added that the Russian embassy would probably be closed. Apart from the expulsions, about 40 Russian diplomats are still in Bulgaria.
