The only way Bulgaria can change is when the untouchables are no longer above the law, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov told media on March 18. He congratulated the Ministry of Interior and stressed that the work has been done because the ministry can now act freely according to the law. "Corruption does not distinguish between national and European money. These people just take public money for their own benefit. Whether it is European or not is a matter of investigation," Petkov said.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that while the European Prosecutor's Office was carrying out checks, it was time for the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office to stand on the side of the people.

"So far, the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office has not shown any real action at the level the Bulgarian people expect," Petkov said, noting that the signals submitted to the European Prosecutor’s Office cannot be hidden.

The Prime Minister strongly refuted claims that yesterday's police operation was an attempt to distract public attention from the war in Ukraine.

"This is a very strange claim. One must have an incredible imagination to claim that," said Kirill Petkov.

Prime Minister Kiril Petkov pointed out that the upcoming visit of US Defence Secretary Lloyd J. Austin is an expression of respect from the US government and stressed that no talks with him have been held with demands related to weapons. Bulgaria will not engage in military action with Ukraine and no missiles will be given at this time, but strong support for Ukraine will continue, the PM said.

"NATO must work in a coordinated way on the eastern flank so that we have security for all countries that are close to the conflict," Petkov added.
