"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Bulgarian public has recently witnessed a series of publications about the use of special surveillance equipment to eavesdrop on people in high government positions. Who divulged this information, where it came from, and whether it is true remains unknown, and nobody has taken responsibility for publicising it.
The government’s clearly stated desire for reform and the fight against organised crime, its unwillingness to be influenced by the former State Security Service, and the fact that this year, Bulgaria will be holding presidential and local elections, were the trigger for this campaign, which created tension and sowed mistrust in those in power. The only circles who have an interest in this state of affairs are those who nurtured and benefited from the blurred distinctions between criminality and the state. They are now seeking to avenge their hurt interests.
I would like to assure you that Bulgaria is governed by the rule of law, that methods of this kind are only used by the authorities within the scope of the law, and that the governing coalition will proceed along its road to reform and not allow illegitimate interests to undermine the fight against crime."@en1
