Speaking from the parliamentary rostrum here on Wednesday, Velichie Floor Leader Ivelin Mihaylov stated that the arrest of the Mayor of Varna, Blagomir Kotsev, is "100% political repression". He said that his party will join the protest scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Mihaylov said that while it is not his job to determine whether Kotsev is guilty or not, the Mayor would be unable to conduct the same alleged crimes "when he is removed from City Hall". The MP described the arrest as "a practice that is typical of the current government". He added: "We will not name names, but it started with GERB. Now the MRF [Movement for Rights and Freedoms] are implementing it, and this is 100% political repression that is taking place."
Mihaylov criticized other political parties for turning a blind eye to injustice in order to deal with their inconvenient political rivals. He concluded: "The law has been totally violated. The principle of justice has been destroyed."
