MRF lawmaker and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski and businessman Kiril Domuschiev have emerged as the most generous donors to COVID-19 relief efforts in opinion polls Sova Harris conducted between 29 May and 3 June of this year among 1,000 people.

The Value-Added Tax (VAT) drops from 20% to 9% on baby milk, puree and diapers. The lawmakers of the Committee on Budget and Finance at the National Assembly adopted amendments to the Value-Added Tax Act at second reading. These amendments were proposed by MP of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) and publisher of Telegraph Media Delyan Peevski along with his colleagues MRF Chairman Mustafa Karadayi and MRF deputy floor leader Yordan Tsonev.

If you have missed Rumen Gechev, former vice-PM in the cabinet of Zhan Videnov, under whose sparing supervision Bulgaria’s banking system collapsed, the country went through one of its biggest crises, and its citizens woke up every day to new astronomical levels of hyperinflation, he is back.

A coronavirus is haunting Bulgarian journalism. The coronavirus of Prokopiev's mainstream media machine. Just like Covid-19, it attacks underhandedly and relentlessly and spreads hotbeds of contagion. However, in contrast to the coronavirus, it has not been spreading for just several months, but for two decades now, in a bid to hit real journalism and put on artificial respiration the freedom of speech in Bulgaria.

State Security agent Sasho has lost control. Iliyan Vassilev proved to be nothing but an expensive call girl. He behaves as if he is strolling along the streets of Bangkok handing out his business cards to clients, in our case these are the indicted oligarchs to whom he renders media services and offers Facebook massages with some extras.

Hristo Ivanov, the strawman leader of a lab-engineered political party put in place by Prokopiev’s empire, is tireless in spewing nonsense. He has the looks of an early 1980s comedian and just as hilarious statements. Hristo is like the sad clown of Circus “Oligarchy”.

Bistra Georgieva, head of the weekly publication Banker, has emerged from her apparent slumber and is now leading the charge in the smear campaign of fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev, aka the Bulgarian Madoff, against the so-called “Peevski amendment” to the Bank Insolvency Act.

Despicable, cynical and arrogant. Even such strong words fail to describe the shamelessness of Ognyan Stefanov, former political officer of the Bulgarian Armed Forces and long-time informer of the communist State Security. As always, this disgraceful representative of Bulgarian journalism did not find the courage to sign his real name under the latest blasphemy he posted on the website Frognews.

The eminent State Security agent Ilian Vassilev who is a part of the mainstream run by indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev has lamented for the collection of Vasil Bozhkov and served him to the fullest just like a loyal minion. All facts show that fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev who syphoned off CorpBank has downsized the tranches he used to send to the net of State Security agents.

Free speech in Bulgaria is held captive by an indicted oligarch and publisher. This might sound as an exaggeration, but it is decidedly not one. It is the harsh reality, unmasked by the history of the country’s ranking in the so-called World Press Freedom Index annually compiled by Reporters Without Borders (RSF)
