“The police will not be reporting the vote-buying to the prosecutor’s office because the prosecution is holding a protective umbrella over the former administration,” said caretaker Minister of the Interior Boyko Rashkov after laying a wreath at the monument to the police officers who have died in the line of duty.

Minister Rashkov stated that Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev is not protecting the electoral rights of citizens. The prosecutor’s office called the statements made by Minister Rashkov a “gross encroachment on the independence” of the institution.

Boyko Rashkov also accused former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov of providing money to churches, mosques and religious schools, expecting to receive their support at the election, BGNES reports.

It is time Rashkov started proving his allegations, GERB commented. They described his statements as a gross pre-election manipulation.
