Petel.bg – news – The Minister of the Interior: They stood against me because they cannot pick up the phone to give me orders

Editor: Yulia Georgieva, BNT personnel

At the beginning of last week, it was decided to strengthen the presence and checks of the authorities above the border points. As a result, at the end of the week, a record 403 kg of pure heroin was seized. The road of the TIR was from Iran to Romania.

Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov commented on this for BNT.

The checks are still ongoing. On the day we announced the heroin to the media, we also found quite a bit of cocaine at the Tower, he commented.

We have shown that it is not easy to cross the Bulgarian border. What we do does not go unnoticed. European Commissioner Johansson was in our country on Thursday to receive high praise for the results we are achieving and thus to reconfirm their support for Bulgaria for overland Schengen, he commented.

I would not say that the services are used as a political club. It is good to know that such development, as with Customs, is triggered well before the results. Let us not suggest that this arrest was made with some purpose, he commented.

After these scandals in recent days and the allegations being thrown around, we will need some time to regain the trust of citizens and our Euro-Atlantic partners. The Ministry of Internal Affairs suffered a major reputational blow. I do not agree at all with the statements of former Prime Minister Denkov that we will not cope with the elections. Anyone who thought that they could win the elections through the Ministry of Internal Affairs was severely mistaken. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do with the organization of the elections, but it has to do with security and the fight against bought votes, he commented.

For several months, there has been a very big attack against me personally by some political forces. Hey, it’s hard to explain. Maybe it’s the fact that all these people realized that I’m not someone you can pick up the phone and give orders to. And those who stood behind, perhaps saw my efforts for Schengen, for road trauma, for the employees of the Ministry of the Interior, he commented.
