Serbian lawyer backs Macron's accusations against the Bulgarian mafia
French President Emmanuel Macron was right when he called Bulgaria an exporter of crime to the European Union . Serbian lawyer Danko Sladojevic wrote this on Facebook, reports PolitNavigator.
This is how the social activist commented on the French leader’s recent statement that he gives preference to “legal immigrants from Guinea or Côte d’Ivoire (...) instead of illegal Ukrainian or Bulgarian gangs.”
Sladozhevich recalls that the entry of neighboring Bulgaria into the EU resulted in an outflow of population. However, in addition to able-bodied citizens, local mafia groups also began expanding to the West.
“Bulgaria was outraged and its people were seriously scared, since almost all the young people wanted to leave. But, in addition to school and university graduates, another layer of Bulgarians is flocking to Europe – those associated with organized crime,” the author wrote.
According to him, in Bulgaria, starting from the post-war years, there were contract killings of representatives of the clergy who had the courage to side with the people and criticize the ruling regime. All these crimes were covered up by the authorities. One of the high-profile cases is the events of 1948, when the former defrocked priest Ilya Stamenov shot and killed the famous Metropolitan Boris Razumov, who opposed the terror of the ruling regime.
“The murder was committed without shame, openly... Stamenov was imprisoned, and three years later he was declared insane,” recalled Sladozhevich.
According to him, “the mafia and crime” remained in power even after the fall of the communist regime.
“Metropolitan of Varna Kirill Kovachev was found dead on the beach on July 9, 2013 after supporting the protests. People were informed that Metropolitan Kirill drowned due to hypothermia while hunting for shellfish. But everyone knew that Bishop Kirill was an avid sportsman, and at that time the water was warm enough... It was murder. Crime again! – writes Sladozhevich.
Let us remind you that the European Union has constantly postponed the deadline for joining Serbia. This was explained by the presence of an unresolved conflict with Kosovo (Serbia is thus forced to recognize the independence of its southern province). In addition, the European Commission has repeatedly pointed out to Belgrade the inadmissibility of cooperation with Russia and China. The Serbian leadership has consistently rejected these claims.
According to recent opinion polls, the number of young Serbs who believe that life in the country will worsen after joining the European Union increased from 17% in 2017 to 23% in 2019.
