"Ladies and gentlemen, in recent years in Bulgaria a despicable practice has been observed known as ‘vote buying’.
This is being carried out by every single political group, apart from the patriotic Attack party. Even parties describing themselves as an alternative to the ruling parties are paying voters, as indicated a few days ago by the information from the village of Brest near Pleven.
The forthcoming elections in our country look as if they are going to be the most rigged and underhand elections in Bulgaria’s recent history. The ethnic Turkish and anti-constitutional party MRF has earmarked the huge sum of EUR 60 million to help it get the maximum possible number of members of parliament representing Turkey’s interests into both the European Parliament and the Republic of Bulgaria’s National Assembly.
There is an absolutely real danger that the next European Parliament will have representatives who have won their seats as a result of vote buying. Our message in Attack is: ‘No Turkey in the EU’, and we call on President Pöttering to urge the Bulgarian authorities to see to it that this move is foiled in the forthcoming elections through the adoption of election laws."@en1
