Parliament is today discussing another veto from President Rumen Radev. This time, he returned to reconsider changes to the Electoral Code, which establish machine voting, but also to preserve the ballots.
The main objections of the head of state are related to the fact that the government has not introduced a totally mechanical vote, which will guarantee more fairness in the electoral process. Furthermore, Radev does not agree that all responsibility for the delivery of the machines should be transferred to the Central Election Commission (CEC).
The plenary commented again that the main problem was the wrong protocols.
GERB’s main argument was that there is no developed country that has introduced fully automatic voting. And according to the opposition, this is exactly how the suspicion of manipulation of invalid votes will disappear.
Former Culture Minister Vezhdi Rashidov also expressed his opinion in the hall. He reproached the BSP for speaking only about the protesters and ordered them to go to the Bulgarian workers who are not on the yellow cobblestones.
“Don’t underestimate the Bulgarian people! What’s so great about this voting machine?” Rashidov said.
The MRF expressed the opinion that there is an attempt to change the essence of the problem.
“Together, they have embraced the idea that preferences are a good thing. All invalid ballots are the result of preferences,” said Yordan Tsonev.
He warned that the electoral process was compromised mainly by the actions of the PEC. From his words it was clear that it is best to introduce automatic voting processing.
“You can’t trust 2/3 of wrong protocols, spoofing, copying, correspondence,” Tsonev added.
In the course of the discussions, BSP dissidents, including Valeri Zhablyanov, insisted that the so-called driver’s bonus should be abolished and the 7% threshold for reorganizing the lists should be removed.
