Bulgarian PM: They will not Scare Us with Bomb Threats, Don’t be Afraid to Vote

"The caretaker government has gone to great lengths to ensure that the upcoming elections are free, fair and well-organized, despite the ambiguities and weaknesses of the changes to the electoral law quickly voted by the previous parliament. Fatigue from frequent elections does not change the important fact that voting is an expression of basic political right. No matter what they try to intimidate you with - with the machines, with the video surveillance, with the bomb threats by e-mail, don't be afraid to vote," said Prime Minister Galab Donev before today's meeting of the Council of Ministers.

According to him, it would be terrible if the opportunity to elect worthy people to represent Bulgaria is missed.

Galab Donev emphasized that important management decisions are coming, which cannot be postponed any longer.

"I understand people who feel misled, bitter and disenfranchised. They will probably be motivated in their choice by negative emotions, but when the effect of emotions predominates it usually leads to a defect in choice. So reason needs to take over. Better is to think 5 times before choosing, instead of choosing 5 times without result", added Galab Donev.

He called on the people to think carefully about who they want to represent them in the 49th National Assembly, who will be delegated the decisions that will depend on what life will be like in Bulgaria.

"Those who don't vote also choose. When you don't vote again you participate in shaping the final result. Don't sell your vote and don't be indifferent to the phenomenon of 'bought vote', it's foreshadowed theft. Politicians who buy your vote today, tomorrow they will steal from your right to a better life," the prime minister added.
