Priority question for written answer P-001548/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Ilhan Kyuchyuk (Renew)
Reports have recently emerged of biased checks being conducted by state bodies in Bulgaria - such as the Ministry of the Interior (General Directorate for Combating Organised Crime (GDBOP)), the Anti-Corruption Commission (KPK), the Public Finances Inspection Agency (ADFI) and the National Revenue Agency (NAP) - in municipalities run by representatives of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) political party, and in the homes and among the families of its members and workers, which raises concerns over the abuse of power and the use of state institutions as a tool for exerting pressure in the run-up to the early parliamentary elections.
