In a video message posted on Facebook, the acting Secretary General of the Interior Ministry, Georgi Kandev, addressed allegations of pressure he has faced. Kandev stated that he received communications advising him to resign, characterizing the efforts as a recurring tactic relying on fear and presumed obedience. He asserted that he would not concede to threats or informal arrangements, maintaining that his focus remains on his established work procedures.
During his statement, Kandev recounted an incident from Thursday when he received multiple calls from unknown numbers via a mobile application. He was informed that an individual known as “Kartofa,” along with associates, were providing false testimony against him at the Sofia City Prosecution Office. Kandev suggested that a former official within the Ministry, identified by the first name “Svetlyo,” might be connected to the situation.
He speculated that the objective of these actions was to create grounds for charges and compel him to withdraw from his post. The Secretary General publicly questioned the Sofia City Prosecution Service regarding the testimony provided by individuals who were allegedly convicted or criminally charged. He questioned the timing and the orchestrators behind this development.
Kandev concluded by emphasizing his resolve, stating that he would not adopt a policy of silence. He affirmed that he would not yield to what he perceived as the same manipulative tactics used in the past.
