Rightist Hardliner: Murderers

The greatest danger for Bulgaria's democratic society is that in the country's Interior Ministry there are murderers and people that cover them, Ivan Kostov, ex prime minister and now leader of the Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) said.

He also underlined that on November 10 police officers brutally killed Bulgarian Anguel Dimitrov. Bulgaria's law was violated by people, whose duty is to obey by it, Kostov added. He also explained that Dimitrov was an inconvenient witness, possessing information about police corruption.

Bulgaria's Interior Minster Rumen Petkov and Justice Minister Georgi Petkanov advised all police officers to act "with all possible law measures" and even surpass them, a DSB declaration reads. The rightist hardliners say that the two ministers have incited corrupted police officers linked to the work of the organized crime gangs to use violence against Bulgarian citizens.

We are protesting against the practice that each killed person is presented as a criminal and his murder as "the logical end of a criminal",Kostov also said.

DSB claims that the Dimitrov's killers are well known to the interior minister and therefore they have be responsible for their deeds.
