Despite CEC’s Decision: Government Press Service Removes Posts Relating to PM Radev’s 26 October Briefing

The Government Press Service has announced that it is removing posts relating to Prime Minister Rumen Radev’s briefing on 26 October from all its platforms.

“The Central Election Commission (CEC) did not establish an administrative violation committed by Prime Minister Rumen Radev through a statement to the media made on 26 October, following his participation in the Sofia Economic Forum at the Sofia Balkan Palace Hotel, which the Government Information Service covered on the same day. However, since the campaign team of Gyurov and Kandev still believes that removing posts will help them in the election campaign, the Government Information Service will provide them with this support and remove from the Council of Ministers’ website and the institution’s Meta profile the posts relating to this media briefing,” the Council of Ministers’ press office stated.
