The need for a fundamental review of the functioning of the Bulgarian prosecution is a central point in Mikhail Mikov's expert analysis. In an exclusive interview with BNR, the political figure emphasizes that institutional challenges go beyond a simple change of leadership figures.
According to Mikov, prosecutors' actions must be entirely subordinate to the rule of law, without external influences. He defines the current street protests as a symptom of deeper political disagreements that go beyond traditional parliamentary frameworks.
Analyzing the case of the Varna mayor, the politician hints at selective justice. "The scale of a given city and the political status of a given person influence media coverage," Mikov is categorical, alluding to systemic imbalances in law enforcement.
The former parliamentary leader is especially critical of the current political conjuncture. He openly comments on the Delyan Peevski phenomenon as symptomatic of deepening social transformations, characterizing them with a high concentration of economic opportunities.
Mikov does not hide his disappointment with the left, which he defines as marginalized in the current political landscape. "The Parliament is highly unbalanced, with minimal left presence," he emphasizes, pointing to the domination of right-wing formations serving capital interests.
His comment regarding the BSP's support for a GERB candidate ombudsman is also indicative - a decision he defines as a betrayal of coalition partners and ideological principles.
Mikhail Mikov's final conclusion is eloquent: every prime minister is a hostage to the majority that supports him, which further complicates the political dynamics in Bulgaria.
