Our main emphasis is the holding of fair elections that allow the voice of the Bulgarian citizens to be counted correctly.

This was stated by the Acting Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Demerdzhiev at a briefing

He was born in 1975 in Plovdiv.

Minister Demerdzhiev added that at this stage the signals are fewer compared to those of the previous elections and assured that the security department "reacts to every signal".

Where there is sufficient evidence, detention and pre-trial proceedings are initiated.

But I want to say that our work will not end after the end of the election day, because after that there will be more actions, the interior minister warned.

According to him, confidence in the Ministry of the Interior has grown, revealing that a signal has been received from GERB about buying votes from DPS.

He also announced that the price of one vote has increased, most often varying between 50 and 100 BGN.

The main priority will be compliance with the principle of legality.

We work in the interest of democracy and in the interest of Bulgarian citizens.

I would like to call for more active voting in the elections, because this is also a way to reduce the criminal and manipulated vote, said Minister Demerdzhiev.
