“The Bulgarian government has spread false news,” said the vice president of the European Parliament, Katarina Barley. The statement was made at a meeting of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
Katarina Barley points to the Bulgarian government as a source of fake news because of the information in our country about what really happened to the famous Brussels subcommittee on the rule of law in Bulgaria.
Barley herself participated in this commission.
Yesterday, while discussing the rule of law in 27 member states, Barley set our country a negative example.
The rule of law is currently a central issue in the European Parliament, as it insists that union money is only received against a strong democracy.
The first follow-up report in all member states is expected this month.
The Justice and Home Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, called LIBE, will take the final position.
Its member is also Vice President Katarina Barley. She is the former Minister of Justice and Social Affairs of Germany, he said.
After the meeting on the situation in Bulgaria of our monitoring group for the control of the rule of law, the content of which was not released. But we have seen the reaction of the government, which publishes completely false information about the content. “Real fake news,” Barley said.
The German MEP did not specify what information she was referring to, but her example concerned the closed-door meeting on Bulgaria last Friday in a subgroup of the LIBE committee. Behind him, contradictory information appeared on who proposed the debate: the monitoring group of the European Parliament, according to a spokesman for the institution, or the Bulgarian chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev, according to the prosecution of our country.
The question of who condemned the “use of gallows, coffins and body bags” during the protests in Bulgaria remained open, whether representatives of the Bulgarian authorities or MEPs who refrained from commenting due to the decision not to reveal the content of the meeting.
We call the Bulgarian government in response to Barley’s criticism. Our Foreign Ministry responded that our government had not published any information on the debates.
“At the insistence of the European Parliament, the discussion was closed,” wrote the Foreign Ministry.
In exactly one week, Bulgaria will once again be a central issue in the Justice and Home Affairs Committee, and a spokesperson for the European Commission confirmed to bTV that it will have the presence of its vice-president Vera Yourova, who is a traditional critic of our country .
