In Bulgaria, another scandal around electoral fraud: more than 1.38 million phantom Bulgarian citizens were included by the CEC in the general electoral list. Valentin Grigorov, deputy chairman and general secretary of the party ‘Russophiles for the Revival of the Fatherland’, co-chairman of the coalition ‘Russophiles for Bulgaria’, told the details of this fraud in the programme ‘Poles’ with host Magdalena Tasheva on the TV channel ‘Bulgaria 24’.
The party ‘Russophiles for the Revival of the Fatherland’ and 6 other political formations call on President Rumen Radev to convene a nationwide round table of small parties to stop the collapse of statehood.
The declaration was prepared on the initiative of the political party ‘Russophiles for the Revival of the Fatherland’ and signed by the following parties: ‘Bulgarian Communist Party’ – Vladimir Tsekov, “Bulgarian Communists” party – Prof Ivan Penchev, “New Force” – Adv. Anton Sirakov, the Freedom Party – Vlado Simeonov, the National Movement Ekoglasnost – Ivo Lulchev, the Taxpayers’ Association – Ivo Khandzhiev and many others.
According to the CEC election statistics, the CEC once again misled the public by stating that the number of voters in Bulgaria was 6,601,262. However, according to the data of the National Statistical Institute, also prepared by the GRAO Office, the population of Bulgaria as of 31 December 2023 is 6,445,481, including two to three million people temporarily or permanently residing abroad.
In other words, the CEC data show that the number of voters exceeds the entire Bulgarian population both in Bulgaria and worldwide, which gives a huge opportunity for electoral fraud.
If from the NSI (National Statistical Institute) data we subtract 1,224,260 minors under the age of 18 who are not eligible to vote, we get 5,221,221 Bulgarian citizens eligible to vote abroad and in Bulgaria.
Based on this, it turns out that if from the number of 5,221,221 eligible to vote, we subtract the figures that the CEC presented to the public – 6,601,262, 1,380,041 fictitious Bulgarians voted in the elections. These are phantoms, these are not real people now living somewhere in Bulgaria or abroad.
In this regard, we have prepared a Declaration to the President demanding a national round table with maximum representation of all small parties participating in the elections from 2021 to the present day, as well as representatives of public, business and other organisations that do not receive funding from abroad, with one single objective: STOP, STOP the dissolution of the Bulgarian statehood.
