Tsveta Kirilova of the Blue Bulgaria Coalition calls for a reduction in crime and corruption

The top candidate of the Blue Bulgaria Coalition in Haskovo Tsveta Kirilova said here on Wednesday that it is time to curb crime in Bulgaria. “Otherwise we, the vigilant and conscientious, the honest and hardworking people, are about to become completely controlled and subordinated to the mafia and crime. And then there is no way out of hell,” she emphasized.

“Poverty in Bulgaria is the result of the greed of those who grew up in the eighty-year-old breeding ground of self-centered, ignorant, selfish, insolent, unscrupulous and uninhibited communist heirs and members of the former repressive apparatus, whose children and grandchildren have and instruments of power in Bulgaria and believe that they belong to them by right, by inheritance,” Kirilova argued. In her words, it is time for the civil sector, the conscious right-wing voters, to take matters into their hands and break this vicious circle.

“Corruption deprives normal people of the means to live their old age with dignity, treat their children and relatives, and support their families. Corruption is eroding Bulgaria’s foundations. Above all, it is a threat to the Bulgarian people. Corruption deprives people of the resources they need,” Kirilova said. According to her, corruption undermines the activity of the institutions, turns them into packages without public services and state status, and undermines public trust in them. People begin not to take the existence of institutions seriously at all, they stop believing in them, and that’s a disaster, Kirillova noted.
