Following statements alleging pressure on Interior Ministry’s acting Secretary General, Georgi Kandev, Continue the Change (CC) leader Assen Vassilev commented on Facebook. Vassilev stated that the situation indicated a pattern where, whenever someone begins doing their assigned duties, they face accusations from others. He described the alleged threats against Secretary General Kandev as “absolutely scandalous.”
Vassilev further asserted that achieving a prosperous, just, and European Bulgaria requires the immediate replacement of the Supreme Judicial Council and a comprehensive overhaul of the judicial system.
The controversy escalated after Kandev himself posted a video message on Facebook. In the recording, he mentioned receiving a directive to leave his post but affirmed his refusal to yield to threats or informal deals. Kandev had been informed that false testimony was presented against him at the Sofia City Prosecution Office on Thursday, involving individuals, including a person known by the nickname “Kartofa.”
The exchange highlights significant political tension regarding the functioning of Bulgaria’s judicial and governmental bodies.
Vassilev’s comments connect the alleged pressure on Kandev to a broader systemic critique, emphasizing structural reforms within the state apparatus. The differing viewpoints underscore a current dispute over accountability and the proper execution of administrative duties within the country’s institutions.
