Following a statement from the acting Secretary General of the Interior Ministry, Georgi Kandev, alleging pressure to resign, Continue the Change (CC) leader Assen Vassilev issued a strong critique via Facebook. Vassilev commented that the situation suggested a pattern where, according to him, when someone begins doing their job, they face allegations based on false testimony. He characterized the reported threats against Secretary General Kandev as “absolutely scandalous.”
Vassilev further asserted that achieving a “prosperous, just, and European Bulgaria” necessitated the immediate replacement of the Supreme Judicial Council and a comprehensive reform of the judicial system.
His statement was accompanied by a photograph of Kandev, captioned with the hashtag “I won’t go home.”
Earlier on Friday, Kandev had posted a video message on Facebook. In the recording, he stated that he had received a directive to resign but affirmed that he would not comply with threats or “backroom deals.” The context for these reports arose after Kandev was informed that individuals, including a person referred to by the nickname “Kartofa” (The Potato), had provided false testimony against him at the Sofia City Prosecution Office on Thursday.
