The oligarchy is attacking me, because Bulgaria entered the Eurozone’s waiting room and they cannot benefit from the banking system as before, Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov says in an interview for the German newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung. The attacks are also due to Bulgaria’s success in combating tobacco smuggling worth hundreds of millions of Euros, Premier Borissov says further. Boyko Borissov also mentions the discontent against the purchase of new F-16 fighter aircraft and the diversification of gas supplies to this country.

“The photos from my bedroom are taken the way it is written in KGB textbooks. Some of my opponents are former secret agents, people from these circles or children of great spies, officers from the Russian military intelligence service”, Premier Borissov added, quoted by BNR.
