Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov has used the air of the Bulgarian National Radio to comment on the integrity of the hosts of TV show "This Morning". He accused the journalists of carrying out an order during an interview and even recommended that the media owners should fire them. This is written in an official statement of bTV, on the occasion of Rashkov's comments made in the air of BNR's "Horizont" program.

"BTV Media Group considers alarming the fact that after more than 30 years of democracy and freedom of speech in this country, officials from all governments continue to publicly attack journalists working in private independent media with baseless allegations" the position also reads.
