Following statements from the Interior Ministry’s acting Secretary General, Georgi Kandev, alleging he faced pressure to resign, Continue the Change (CC) leader Assen Vassilev commented on Facebook. Vassilev stated that in Bulgaria, it appears that as soon as someone begins doing their job, they are immediately subjected to accusations from alleged false witnesses. He characterized the reported threats against Secretary General Kandev as “absolutely scandalous.” Furthermore, Vassilev asserted that the necessary path toward a prosperous, just, and European Bulgaria requires the immediate replacement of the Supreme Judicial Council and the purging of the judicial system.
These remarks followed an earlier incident where Kandev posted a video message on Facebook. In the video, he mentioned receiving a directive to “go home,” but declared that he would not “bow to threats and backroom deals.” Kandev had reportedly been informed that individuals, including a person known by the nickname “Kartofa,” had provided false testimony against him at the Sofia City Prosecution Office on Thursday. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions within the Ministry.
Vassilev’s public commentary suggests a broader political disagreement regarding institutional governance. His comments underscore a belief that fundamental structural changes are necessary for the country’s development, framing the current situation as a resistance to proper administrative function.
