Financial fraudster Tsvetan Vassilev crawled out of his refuge in Belgrade and started explaining, probably under the influence, stuff about the collapse of his CorpBank pyramid. Delivering textbook fake news, he dragged the “evil Prosecutor’s Office” and the name of the oligarchy’s eternal enemy, MP Delyan Peevski, into it.

The Capital Film Studio has released the latest installment in its fake-news soap opera Lords of Junk, which has been force-fed to its audience for years. The goal of the series is always the same – to take a swipe at enemy №1 of the behind-the-scenes clique Delyan Peevski, who earned that distinction with his legislative initiatives and his publications’ consistent policy of exposing the shady deals of the oligarchs defrauding the Bulgarian public. The series is the work of indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev, who uses the same formula, the same lies. Only the actors change.

Are you familiar with the term delusion? If you look it up in the dictionary, it is explained as a state of harbouring a false belief. In the field of medicine, delusion can be a symptom of an entire spectrum of mental health conditions from schizophrenia to bipolar disorder.

Minister of Culture Boil Banov essentially prohibited Delyan Peevski from complying with the amendments to the Mandatory Deposition of Print and Other Materials Act introduced by the MRF lawmaker himself. Peevski’s motion to register the renamed sports outlet in his media group – now called Match Telegraph was rejected.

Lozan Panov, the head of the Supreme Court of Cassation, performed a complex gymnastic exercise. He made a flexible side-split before the authoritative German publication Der Spiegel, where he uttered a bunch of lies without batting an eyelid. The paradox is that his interview came out with a headline citing him to say: "Don't close your eyes, Europe, and be silent."

The pyramid of lies built by indicted oligarch Ivo Prokopiev came crashing down in an instant under the weight of Ivo Mirchev, the corpulent avatar of former justice minister Hristo Ivanov, aka Pinocchio. The giant Hippoland gaffe of the fat troll illuminated the fact that for decades now the Capital cult has been spewing thousands of lies against Delyan Peevski, lawmaker and publisher of the newspapers Monitor and Telegraph.

The leader of "Yes, Bulgaria" party Hristo Ivanov never appears alone. Next to him always stays his bodyguard Ivaylo Mirchev like a big shadow. In this appearance, the two gentlemen resemble the classic couple in a well-known animated comedy, where the first character is a small, harmful and cunning old fox, and the other one is a stupid, but big and strong gorilla.

Dnevnik outlet - the flagship of the slanders’ machine of the indicted Razgrad boss Ivo Prokopiev, took off its guise itself. The online edition scored a resounding own goal, exposing itself as a platform for lies and fake news items. Thereby ironically, in another article against the main enemy of behind-the scenes clique in our country - MP Delyan Peevski, apparently commissioned by the Razgrad oligarch.

Vasil Bozhkov, aka the Bulgarian El Chapo, is facing serious problems. The gambling tzar and oligarch is desperately trying to hold on to his companies, real estate, and cash. That explains the ill-conceived fake news he posted on Facebook against lawmaker and Telegraph Media publisher Delyan Peevski. He was likely aided by his PR, a lady named Ivet Dobromirova.

Being a clown is not an easy job. Especially if you are in Prokopiev's troupe. The circus is old, the spectators are fed up, and the chewing gums for blowing lies are second-hand. To top it all, they burst right in the long nose of the one, who is inflating them. And the audience is whistling.
