lpv:translated text	"Mr President, key to our relationship with developing countries is the progress made in democracy, human rights and fair elections. We often take tough resolutions against the transgressions of one regime or another. Our words have no value if we turn a blind eye to the issues in our own home. The citizens of Bulgaria have been dragged into a creeping restoration of authoritarianism. I live in a country where elections are now won through fraud, pressure, vote buying, abuse of power structures and administrative resources. The government there has established full control over the media through pressure on media company owners or direct interference in the work of journalists. Small and medium-sized enterprises are deliberately being stifled; private monopolies are being encouraged over which the authorities have established full political control. Business is being redistributed in a criminal fashion, in the best mafia traditions, disguised as political power. Tenders are not being won by the best bids, because the winner has already been decided by a phone call made by one individual. A singer is being investigated for his song lyrics, which deride the new party state, and so on. Democracy will prevail, but we need solidarity and the European Union – specific mechanisms to stop travesties such as these."@en1
