"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my immunity is being violated. I am being subjected to political persecution, but the media in Bulgaria remain tight-lipped. The reason is that I am telling the truth.
Following a meeting between supporters of ‘GORD’, the political union I created, the police arrested our followers, and the others and I were treated like criminals. Why? Because of the support for ‘GORD’.
Bulgarian celebrities who have supported ‘GORD’ are being bullied and humiliated because they oppose the government. The prime minister is personally responsible for the acts of repression against us, but he is spineless and others are doing his dirty work. Europe is ignoring my warnings, which is encouraging the dictator Borisov.
The government is abducting people and mocking its opponents. There is no democracy. I am afraid that the European institutions’ lack of action may cost both the good name and the lives of my followers, my relatives and even me.
I call on a united Europe and the leaders of the European parties to take prompt action and adopt a clear stance. If respectable people are confirming that they are being oppressed by those in power because they support me, will you intervene, or will my supporters and I need to seek political asylum?
If Brussels does not protect us from the dictator, to whom should we turn – Moscow, Washington, even Beijing perhaps? This is what the situation is like in Bulgaria."@en1
