"Mr President, I would like to ask the European Commission whether it is aware of the fact that there have been 27 rulings against Bulgaria at the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg for misuse of police powers. Today, we are discussing eavesdropping devices, but the Citizens’ Initiative has also been watched by the State Agency for National Security and people have been forced to withdraw their signatures. People taking part in peaceful demonstrations on economic issues have afterwards been summoned to the police and questioned. Show arrests have been carried out with deliberate heavy-handedness. The declaration of the ruling political party claims that the opposition, both on the right and the left, have a hand in organised crime and the enemies of GERB are the enemies of the state, while the political and criminal oppositions today are the same thing. That is the style used by Mussolini and it concerns me greatly. Similarly, pressure was yesterday exerted at an official meeting between my political party and the leadership of GERB to withdraw our oral question, an action which I consider undemocratic and intolerable. What measures does the Commission intend to take to restore human rights in my country? This debate today is not a matter of Bulgarians opposing Bulgarians, but Bulgarians in the interest of their state and their citizens."@en1
