EnglishIliana Benovska speaks with Ivelin Mihaylov about large-scale electoral manipulation, the transformation of the state into a feudal domain, and the legal battle of the “Velichie” party to annul the vote.
Electoral Manipulation and Vote Buying
Individuals organize mass vote trading primarily in Roma neighborhoods, with the city of Sliven serving as an example of this criminal scheme. Ivelin Mihaylov claims that Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski sustain this feudal society through the distribution of money. Vote buyers divide voters into categories based on their social status and influence within the community.
| Voter Category | Price per Vote (euro) | Role of Intermediaries |
|---|---|---|
| Wealthy and influential Roma | 100 – 150 | Intermediaries keep the difference for themselves. |
| Poor Roma | 30 – 50 | Individuals receive the amount directly for their vote. |
Mitko Kozhuharov from Pazardzhik demonstrates rapid financial growth and extraordinary enrichment between October and March. His stepfather receives public contracts from the GERB party. Kozhuharov replaces his older Porsche Panamera with a new Mercedes GT63 AMG, valued at up to 400,000 leva. These individuals use fake identification signs and passes labeled “Bulgarian commando” to pressure citizens. Mihaylov accuses PP-DB and the president of complete inaction toward these actors, while the state robs ordinary workers through taxes and actions by the National Revenue Agency. The mafia system in Bulgaria uses public funds to corrupt the population and buy its future.
The Political System as “Feudalism”
Mihaylov defines the current situation in the country as oligarchic feudalism, in which oligarchs seize territories through corruption. In this model, ordinary citizens lose their rights and resemble modern-day serfs.
| Characteristic | Historical Feudalism | Contemporary Bulgarian Oligarchy |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | The king owns the entire state and land. | Oligarchs control resources through widespread corruption. |
| Status of the People | Helots (serfs) without rights or property. | Citizens without real rights, treated as “material.” |
| Control Mechanism | Granting control over territories by the ruler. | Financial dependency and a “payday loan company” model. |
People often do not understand the meaning of the terms used by politicians and fail to realize their right to healthcare, education, and entrepreneurial initiative. The leader of “Velichie” sets as a goal the elimination of these dependencies and the return of Bulgaria to its people. He emphasizes that the modern individual has full rights over the country’s wealth, but the oligarchy keeps them in a state of subordination. The party plans active meetings with citizens to explain these unjust schemes and encourage civic engagement.
Struggle for Justice and Annulment of Elections
The mafia elite turns the “Velichie” party into a convenient victim of political corruption during the elections of October 27, 2024. Individuals in commissions and polling stations carry out manipulations of enormous scale and blatant vote trading. However, thousands of party volunteers process data from 8,000 polling stations and prepare legally valid evidence for the court.
| Action Taken | Result Achieved |
|---|---|
| Request to the Constitutional Court | Demand for a full review of all 12,920 polling stations. |
| Court Decision | Unprecedented partial annulment of election results and mandates. |
| International Oversight | Engagement of 212 independent observers from the OSCE for the next vote. |
Ivelin Mihaylov enters the 51st National Assembly with a promise of full opposition to illegality and dishonesty. The party’s group includes specialists in economics, law, and healthcare who demand transparent institutions and energy independence. Mihaylov insists on equality before the law and protection of Bulgarian entrepreneurs from administrative pressure. The party continues its struggle to restore justice, relying on the support of citizens and international observers.
