The leader of 'Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria' (DSB), Atanas Atanasov, on February 10 submitted a request to convene a joint closed session of the parliamentary Committee on Internal Security and Public Order and the Committee for Oversight of the Security Services, in connection with the serious criminal cases in the Petrohan area and near Okolchitsa, the party said on February 10.
Atanasov has proposed that the hearing include the Ministry of Interior’s Chief Secretary, Miroslav Rashkov, and the acting head of the State Agency for National Security (SANS), Denyo Denev, citing the sensitive nature of the information and the need for institutional clarity.
According to the request, such a hearing is necessary in light of growing public distrust and Parliament’s obligation to exercise effective oversight in cases of high public and institutional importance.
The nationalist party 'Vazrazhdane' has also called on the Speaker of the National Assembly to summon the heads of all institutions involved in the case, including the Ministry of Interior, SANS, the General Directorate for Combating Organised Crime (GDBOP) and the General Directorate of National Police (GDNP).
