All about the topic:

The arrest of Boyko Borisov 215

This is what the European People's Party (EPP) insists in a special letter to the Vice-President of the European Commission (EC) and Commissioner for Values ​​and Transparency Vera Jourova and European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders.

The reason for the letter is the final decision of the Sofia Administrative Court of August 22, 2022, according to which the arrest of Boyko Borisov

Boyko Metodiev Borisov is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria. He was born on June 13, 1959. He is illegal and arbitrary.

On this occasion, the EPP calls on the European Commission to take appropriate measures to ensure respect for democratic values ​​and the rule of law in Bulgaria.

The court finally: The detention of Boyko Borisov is illegal

In their letter to the EC, the EPP also states that the final court decision also reaffirms the EPP's assessment of the arrest, of which the EC was immediately informed on April 4, 2022. "We continue to be worried about the deterioration of the rule of law in Bulgaria and we trust you will share our concern.

Illegal detention of members of the democratic opposition violates basic democratic standards and cannot be tolerated in any EU member state, the GERB press center reported.

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in 

Moreover, false suggestions of a link between the arrest and the EPPO's investigations made by the Bulgarian authorities during the illegal detention have created unnecessary confusion regarding the EPPO's operations and may undermine public confidence in the office," the letter further states. .

The letter to the EC was personally signed by the chairman of the EPP and head of the group of the party in the European Parliament (EP) Manfred Weber

Manfred Weber - German politician. Manfred Weber was born on July 14, 1972 in the Bavarian village and to the chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control in the EP Monika Hallmeier, her deputy Thomas Zdekowski, the coordinator of the EPP in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs in the EP Jeroen Lennars and the coordinator of the EPP in the Committee on Budgetary Control in the EP Petri Sarvama.
