"Mr President, it is with huge regret that it is only from this Chamber that I can tell the public about the totalitarian way in which the Republic of Bulgaria is being governed. The prime minister has established a model of government based on total control of the media and freedom of speech. Anyone who holds different views to him is compromised and brutally suppressed. The media are censored and information is filtered in a draconian manner. Only events which are favourable to those in power are covered. Any other events are not reported and Bulgarian citizens therefore remain completely unaware of them. The prime minister acts arrogantly, like someone who thinks that the law and morals do not apply to him. He decides everything on his own, which includes him quite openly telling private individuals where to invest their money so as to gain his goodwill. The need is clearly forming in Bulgaria for an ‘Arab Spring’. I firmly believe that none of us want the Hugo Chávez style of government in the European Union. Such a method of government is totally unacceptable for a democratic country in the 21st century, a Member State of the European Union at that. Thank you for giving me your time and attention. I think that it is now time for us to show European citizens that everyone is equal before Europe’s laws and our voice cannot be stifled in this House."@en1
