No clear path forward for Bulgaria after election split
|
14.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| The discovery of hundreds of thousands of illegal ballot papers has thrown an already complex Bulgarian election into turmoil. The situation was already messy enough - with a governing party that resigned in February during street protests topping a highly-divided field.
But with mounting suspicions of fraud, hopes that the election might end a period of political chaos are distrust are fading.
Protesters gathered in central Sofia last night after a report that a police raid had turned up 350,000 unregistered ballot papers in a factory in western Bulgaria . The company involved, contracted to print the ballot papers, has denied wrongdoing, but allegations are already flying about its owner’s political links to GERB, the rightist party of former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov , who resigned in February .
The GERB-led government and opposition both accused the other of vote-rigging. The scandal threatens to taint what was already a controversial and hotly-contested vote.
