Bulgaria’s Interior Minister Tsvetlin Yovchev has criticized former center-right PM Boyko Borisov’s claims that a plot exists to assassinate him.

“Such thing as a plot against Boyko Borisov is impossible to happen in a democratic country,” Yovchev told Nova TV Friday.

Yovchev criticized Borisov, urging him not to hurl “bombastic” allegations, reminding that the aggression displayed by politicians would have a negative impact on street protesters.
The Interior Minister said that Borisov was not discussed during the two meetings he had with Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov.

The former Prime Minister had claimed that Tsatsarov, Yovchev and Delyan Peevski, who was appointed as head of national security last Friday, plotted to arrest him and then murder him in custody

On Thursday, Borisov reminded that Bulgarian Socialist Party leader and PES president Sergey Stanishev recently described the appointment of controversial businessman Delyan Peevski as an “unorthodox” decision.

According to the center-right leader, that meant Stanishev was seeking an “unorthodox” way to deal with him – by killing him while in custody.

He said Peevski’s appointment was made by Ahmed Dogan, a former leader of the liberal Movement for Rights and Freedoms party.

Back in February, Borisov claimed Dogan was masterminding a plot to assassinate him.

Peevski’s appointment was reversed by Parliament on Wednesday following a week of massive nationwide protests against his election.

The move failed to appease protesters, who have demanded the government’s resignation.
