One more time the regional management of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) in Pazardzhik has organised a free dinner for the residents of the village of Pashovi, near the town of Velingrad. Part of iftar, the Muslim tradition of having an evening meal to break fast at sunset during the month of Ramadan, the event was attended by lawmaker and MEP candidate Delyan Peevski. The news was reported by the local newspaper Videlina, which notes that this is far from the first time that Peevski has honoured the meal and greeted the villagers.

The cohort of scribblers paid by the oligarchs has found a new method of defaming the behind-the-scenes clique’s eternal enemy – lawmaker of the opposition party Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski. Running out of talking points in the hectic run-up to the European Parliament elections in Bulgaria, the puppet journalists decided to throw old fake news at Peevski.

In a ceremony marking the start of construction works on an intersystem gas connection between Bulgaria and Greece, the two countries' prime ministers - Boyko Borissov and Alexis Tsipras, respectively - broke ground on the project and signed a section of the pipeline. “Over the years, we heard a lot of talk about interconnectors and diversification. Well, we quietly did some actual work and today we are launching the project,” said Borissov during the official ceremony. He added that the pipeline allows for real and complete diversification of natural gas supplies.

The foot soldiers on payroll of natural gas tycoon Sasho Donchev have been in bad pain of late. To be more accurate, for about a month now, since it became clear that the MP from the civil quota of the opposition Movement for Rights and Freedoms and publisher of Telegraph Media Delyan Peevski is on the second position of the Movement’s EP voting list.

Proverbial wisdom says that people are inclined to blame others for their own vices and wrongdoings. With this in mind it is really scary even to imagine what is going on in the editorial offices of the media outlets owned by the indicted oligarch-publishers or those associated with them. After three weeks of the election campaign three things are already evident.

The Fake News Factory has completely gone off the rails after spinning a semi-criminal plot in its latest fake news about lawmaker of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) and Telegraph media publisher Delyan Peevski that is worthy of contending for a prize. The “news” appeared on one of the Factory’s websites – fakti.bg, while its original source is the TV channel Eurocom, which aired a short piece with journalist Hristo Geshov from the website Bivol.

Oligarch Ivo Prokopiev lobbied the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation (NCTC) to support the idea of the state selling its remaining shares in the electricity distribution companies, arguing that it was not a good owner. The Council of Ministers, however, never made a decision on the matter specifically.

The website Dnevnik would have you believe that Delyan Peevski is some sort of tourist attraction connected to one of the tiniest streets in Sofia – Malko Tarnovo Str. The publication’s unhealthy obsession with lawmaker and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski has reached new heights. The flagship media outlet of the Razgrad oligarch Ivo Prokopiev sees the “long hand” of Peevski absolutely everywhere, to the point of being ridiculous.

A journalist asked Mark Twain was it true that he was writing a play for the Philadelphia Theater. “You may write that the play consists of four acts and three intermissions. I am almost ready with the intermissions", the writer answered jokingly.

The NGO Boets, which likes to take photos with the fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev, is touring embassies in expectation of ovations. After its attempt to block the MEP candidacy of lawmaker of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski failed spectacularly, Boets launched another campaign to defame the MP. To that end, its representatives visited the Austrian, British and Italian embassies to Bulgaria in quick succession to complain that they have no idea where Peevski lives.
