Concerning the footage showing police brutality against protesters that has been made public, former Interior Minister Mladen Marinov, now GERB party MP, wrote on Facebook that anyone accusing him of concealing data of crimes committed must prove their allegations in court. Mladen Marinov goes on to say that disciplinary measures were taken immediately and that the material was sent to the prosecutor’s office.

In an interview for the BNR’s Horizont channel “Democratic Bulgaria” co-chair Hristo Ivanov commented that former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev were the people who had in fact “ordered this grievous crime and then concealed it”. That is why “Democratic Bulgaria” is going to submit to parliament a request for Ivan Geshev to be heard out in plenary.

“Borissov and Geshev bear the brunt of responsibility because they concealed the footage,” said on her part Maria Cappone from “Stand Up, BG! We Are Coming!”.
