The European Commission is closely watching the events in Bulgaria, but will not comment on the complaints of MEPs from the European People's Party against the caretaker Minister of Interior, Boyko Rashkov. On May 31, Bulgarian MEPs from GERB-SDS sent a letter to the European Parliament and EU commissioners signaling over what they call controversial statements made by the minister.
"As always, we will respond in the right way and through the right channels. But we will not comment on internal political developments," the commission said, adding that in the framework of the annual rule of law report, in July the European Commission will publish the second analysis of the rule of law in the member states for the year.
