In early October, there will be a debate in the plenary room of the European Parliament on the rule of law in Bulgaria, BSPElena MEP Yoncheva announced on Friday. According to her, these debates are carried out for countries that are in a critical situation.
“There will be a resolution and this will have serious consequences for Bulgaria. The government should not be under any illusions,” Yoncheva said in an interview with bTV. According to her, the European Parliament speaks of the rule of law in Bulgaria due to the protests that have attracted the attention of the main European media.
“We can compare ourselves to Belarus on the trend, because we have an authoritarian regime,” explained Yoncheva, who on the eve of the election of the BSP leader, criticized the leader Cornelia Ninova for the party’s behavior during the protests.
Yoncheva believes that the BSP should have led civil unrest as the largest opposition formation, but this opportunity was missed. The MEP said she had sent three signals to the prosecution about the scandal with the house in Barcelona, but none of them were signed by Ninova.
The day before, the Vice-President of the European Commission, Vera Yourova, spoke with the MEPs of the corresponding commission on the rule of law in the European Parliament. She acknowledged that the situation in Bulgaria is not good. The EC will urge Bulgaria to resolve the issue of the attorney general’s liability and will take note of the problems with the country’s media in its next report on 23 September.
However, Andrei Novakov MEP (GERB, EPP) does not think that the debates in the European Parliament are anything special. He said similar talks have taken place for many countries in the union.
“There is a feeling that outside of Sofia, the older brother is sitting somewhere, to see if he encourages us or punishes us, depending on whether we have been obedient or not,” Andrey Novakov told bTV.
He asked Bulgaria to have the confidence of a full member of the EU. According to him, an absolutely routine LIBE meeting was presented as an audience in which someone was called to discuss with him.
“European Commissioners come to EP all the time and participate in all committees constantly on all issues. Bulgaria is not the first country to be discussed in this committee, it will not be the last,” Andrei Novakov said.
It is strange for him to look at Brussels as a class teacher who will tell us whether we have listened or not.
