lpv:translated text	"I must draw your attention to a problem in my country. Bulgaria is being governed by an incompetent, but populist government, which is using methods typical of the 1930s. Indicative of this is the fact that the most popular politicians at the moment are the Interior Minister, followed by the former Chief Secretary of this ministry, who is now prime minister. In the wake of the elections, hundreds of representatives of the opposition were sacked for political reasons. Pressure has been exerted on the main media. Politicians are being arrested in a brutal and blatant manner or ridiculous charges are being made. Prosecutors are publicly flouting the presumption of innocence, while ministers are exerting pressure on courts and pronouncing sentences from the TV. A new law permits sentence to be passed solely on the basis of information obtained by phone-tapping and evidence provided by an anonymous witness. Arrangements are being made to set up an extraordinary court, officially called a ‘specialised court’. Fear is spreading. For years on end Bulgaria was required to make greater efforts in the fight against crime. At present, efforts are being made, but the fight against crime is spilling over into a battle against democracy. The European Parliament is sensitive to the violation of democracy, freedom and human rights around the world. It also needs to be just as sensitive when this is happening in Member States."@en1
