1. Many foreign analysts do not understand why we've been demanding the resignation of General Prosecutor Ivan #Geshev for months. The short answer: he whitewashes corrupt politicians and he initiates bogus criminal proceedings against innocent people to harass them. 2. A leaked recording of #Borissov whose authenticity was proven by two independent forensic analyses - one commissioned by @occrp's partner @BivolBg and one by MEP Elena Yoncheva shows #Geshev receives orders from #Borissov re: who should be charged: bivol.bg/en/voice-in-pr…

1. As many #Bulgaria/n commentators noted, this article smells like PR for Nickolay Mladenov who the Deep State may put forward as our next PM.

The puppeteers have a problem - some parts of his bio such as his ultra communist background cannot be deleted.
nytimes.com/2021/01/02/wor… 2. Nickolay Mladenov's years of subservience to #Borissov's regime cannot be deleted either. So subservient that he even asked Borissov to be the best man at his wedding.

"The System Kills Us", an association of mothers of disabled children, spent New Year's Eve in front of the Council of Ministers as a sign of #protest. The mothers have been protesting against #Borissov for more than 2 years:

#Bulgaria

frognews.bg/novini/maikite… "The System Kills Us" formed spontaneously in April 2018 as a #protest movement fighting for the #rights of disabled people (and disabled children in particular) as #Bulgaria's government has failed to adequately support them.

Преди време, "учредих" награда #ЗлатноЗомби, за да отдам почит на особени случаи на зомбираност. За цялостен принос в областта, отдавам заслужено уважение към Емилия Милчева, неспряла се да пише нелепици и откровени лъжи за баща ми в продължение на години.
dw.com/bg/%D0%B0-%D0%… Г-жа Милчева, много дълга е вече колекцията от Ваши материали, които разтърсват с некоректност, непознаване на материята (неграмотност или малоумие - как да го наречем, не знам) и претенциозност без покритие.

1. This is a very scary #thread which shows the extent to which #Bulgaria is a #MafiaState.

#CriminalState #RuleOfLaw 2. Imagine there's an attempt on your life, special forces and gendarmerie raid your business, state institutions acquire control of it, and you flee abroad to save your life.

1. Г-н Комарницки @Christo_Komar, в последния си пост Цветан Василев коментира нарушенията на човешки права/ЕКПЧ по делото #КТБ през 2019 г.

Жалко е, че такива видеа "стесняват вашия фейс". Дали харесва на Вас, на Иван, на Сотир, това са фундаментални права. #DualStandards 2. Не знам дали сте запознат, че през 2019 г. бяха арестувани невинни души (свидетели по делото КТБ) и държани в ужасяващи условия повече от 8 месеца единствено на база на показания на един човек. Някои се разболяха от рак, а други получиха инфаркт в ареста.

1. #Bulgaria/n #economy 101! #Thread

#Borissov's government is proud that in 2018, #GDP growth was 3.2%, but how impressive is this and should you be impressed too? 2. #Bulgaria has the lowest #GDP/capita in the #EU, but it is not that small. Our population is ca 7.1 million. What does that mean? Lack of efficiency, but not only.
