The incident triggered a sharp stance from the MRF, and the movement demanded an apology from both the media and Racheva. In its position, the MRF noted that “they are watching with growing anxiety the increasingly blatant and frank politicization of news programs and political debate on national air and in particular on bTV.

In response, bTV later apologized Thursday night. It is about another leak of Racheva on the air, which at the end of July in the central newscast said on the occasion of the protests abroad: “I don’t know about the protests abroad … if necessary, I will invent them.” However, bTV described the incident as “unintentional human error of language.”

So far no apologies from Racheva.
