Ivelin Mihaylov: “Baba Alino”, Media Umbrella, and Selective Justice in Bulgaria

Ivelin Mihaylov makes a comprehensive analysis of the political and economic situation in the country, revealing schemes of an institutional umbrella over illegal projects, a double standard of justice, and covered-up ecological disasters.

The Hidden Advertising of “Baba Alino”

Ivelin Mihaylov accuses the "Capital" publication and Ivo Prokopiev of complicity in an organized criminal group that systematically plunders Bulgarian citizens. As proof, he points to a publication from June 23, 2023, in which the media presents a detailed analytical material about the "Baba Alino" construction complex near Varna. According to the speaker, the article realistically serves as hidden advertising and property sales in the illegal town, whose houses are currently subject to demolition.

The publication includes professional photos and a positive presentation of the investor Oleg Nevzorov, despite his history of large-scale fraud in Ukraine. Mihaylov expresses strong indignation at the lack of reaction from well-known investigative journalists like Genka Shekerova and Mirolyuba Benatova, as well as the complete silence of opposition parties like Vazrazhdane. He believes that this proves the existence of a massive network encompassing the leaderships of all political formations.

Economic Crisis and the Role of the Velichie Party

In his overview, Mihaylov directly blames the PP-DB, GERB, DPS, BSP, and ITN parties for the sharp impoverishment of the population. As a result of their actions, Bulgaria is becoming the country with the most expensive standard of living in the European Union. The speaker describes the claims of politicians that the new budget will make people 500 euros poorer as absolute insolence, given that they themselves generated the crisis.

Mihaylov notes a trend towards the reduction of political parties through secret deals, giving as examples the closure of Vasil Bozhkov's party and the withdrawal of figures like Yordan Tsonev and Delyan Dobrev. He states that the Velichie party will continue to grow as a people's corrective against the self-conceit of the rulers. The organization is ready to nominate its own presidential candidate if the lack of justice in the state continues.

Double Standard of Law Enforcement Bodies

The speaker gives specific examples of a complete lack of justice and tendentious actions by the institutions. He contrasts the showy operation and the 9-day detention of Stoyan Kolev for carrying a child's toy with the flat refusal of the prosecutor's office to investigate real crimes.

Mihaylov recalls an organized attack against him from 2020, carried out by a local farmer, former BSP MP Georgi Andreev, and "Capital" newspaper over an illegal landfill. Despite the provided photos showing the handover of money and clear evidence, the prosecutor's office refused to open a pre-trial proceeding after questioning a mere 4 people. Meanwhile, the same farmer was caught driving 4 hours after consuming 5 grams of cocaine, yet remains unpunished and protected by the media.

Takeover of Public Procurement and Ecological Disasters

To illustrate the scale of corruption in Varna, the speaker presents the case of the Syrian citizen Ibrahim Amoura.

In conclusion, Mihaylov warns of a severe ecological disaster in the Black Sea caused by a collision between two tankers carrying Russian oil. The incident inflicts billions in damages and completely destroys the tourist season along the coast, but the government and institutions deliberately cover up the case and refuse to comment.
