Vazrazhdane Floor Leader Kostadin Kostadinov read a declaration in Parliament on behalf of the parliamentary group on Thursday, calling for Interior Minister Daniel Mitov's resignation over the death of 36-year-old Varna resident Yavor Georgiev, who died after he was taken in custody.

The young man's relatives and friends have come out in protest as they believe police violence was perpetrated against him and are demanding a full clarification of the truth.

“The Interior Ministry is seriously gangrenous and needs to be cut,” Kostadinov said.

Kostadinov also demanded hearings of the Interior Minister and the Minister of Health.

Earlier on Thursday, Mitov dismissed Interior Ministry's Varna Directorate Director Andrey Angelov from his post.
