Demerdzhiev: Peevski's report against me is a recognition of the Interior Ministry's work

Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev commented sharply on the news that Delyan Peevski had filed a report against him with the prosecutor's office. According to Demerdzhiev, there is no better attestation for the ministry's actions than to receive a complaint from a person who has become an "international symbol of the behind-the-scenes."

When the man who has become an international symbol of the behind-the-scenes starts complaining about the law, it is the surest confirmation that we are finally on the right path, the minister declares.

Key points in Demerdzhiev's position:

The minister is categorical: "The law is no longer a tool for negotiation, but an equal standard for everyone." He adds that as a lawyer, he would never use the methods with which he associates the activities of Delyan Peevski.
