Bulgaria has its own “Navalny”
Oligarch, leader of the Volya party and vice-speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament Veselin Mareshki declared himself the Bulgarian “Navalny”.
BgNews reports this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Who is Navalny in Bulgaria? Who is being attacked for being involved in politics and helping people live well,” said the Bulgarian millionaire and politician Mareshki in an interview with the Nova Television channel, referring to himself.
The deputy speaker began to take on the aura of a martyr when he was sentenced to four years in prison for extortion last year. Mareshki was saved from prison by parliamentary immunity. After the verdict, he compared himself to Lech Walesa and Nelson Mandela, as well as the first president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel.
Now the press is criticizing Veselin Mareshki for illegal construction in the Sea Garden of Varna. And in response, a comparison of his beloved self with the “victim of the regime” Alex Navalny arrived. At the same time, the “principled oppositionist” and “martyr” turned to the country’s Prime Minister Boyko Borisov with a request for support, since he is a “patriotic representative of big business.”
At the same time, Mareshki, nominally considered an oppositionist, traditionally supports all initiatives of the ruling coalition in the People's Parliament.
