Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev has vetoed some amendments to the Election Code. In his view, the amendments aim to guarantee election victory of the current government at the forthcoming elections and call into question the fairness of the elections.
“The national protests which have lasted for three months are evidence of a deep crisis of democracy. According to sociological surveys, confidence in the government has declined. Elections are the foundation of any democracy. The refusal of the cabinet to resign prolongs the agony”, Bulgaria’s head of state points out.
In his view, the latest amendments allowing both machine voting and voting with paper ballots make machine voting meaningless. In President Radev’s view, the amendments to the Election Code aim to create chaos and opportunities for manipulations.
