Election tourism cannot be restricted under current law: PM Ognian Gerdjikov

Caretaker PM Ognian Gerdjikov said that under current Bulgarian law election tourism could not be restricted. He spoke on the occasion of organized bus trips from Turkey of Bulgarian expats of Turkish ethnicity willing to vote for parties based on the ethnic principle in the snap parliamentary elections in Bulgaria on 26 March. In case there is a cardinal change in the legislation which is not likely to take place in the foreseeable future, this option can be discussed. However, the current legislation does not restrict the so-called election tourism no matter how much we dislike this fact, Ognain Gerdjikov said.
