In Bulgaria, the last parliamentary elections on October 27, 2024, saw incredible rigging.
The mass media are covering up this scandal.
Kla.TV spoke to the leading candidate of the Velichie party, which was directly affected.
Interviewer: Ivelin, since many of our viewers don't know you, could you briefly introduce yourself?
Ivelin: My name is Ivelin Lyudmilov Mihaylov, I was born in 1977 in the town of Gorna Oryahovitsa.
This is a city in central Bulgaria, an important railroad junction.
I completed my secondary education in electrical engineering, industrial production automation and programming.
And I have a degree in economics and management.
Since then, I have been an entrepreneur who has built up a number of companies in Bulgaria.
I have contributed to the development of Bulgarian culture in many ways.
And now I am a Bulgarian member of the 51st National Assembly and chairman of the parliamentary group of the Velichie Party.
Interviewer: Well, how did the other parties react to your candidacy in October 2024?
Ivelin: The parties were very hostile towards us, even when we entered the 50th National Assembly in the June elections.
The situation in the National Assembly was disgusting.
All, absolutely all parties were against ours.
After that, this popular assembly broke up and that was partly thanks to us, because we
showed and demonstrated ethics and morals.
After that, some of our MPs were bought in Bulgaria, it may not be known to people in the world that it
is a practice that MPs are bought by two oligarchs.
They are Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski.
Our MPs were bought by Delyan Peevski at the time.
We also have footage of MPs being blackmailed and bought with confessions by Delyan Peevski.
But despite everything, the Bulgarian public prosecutor's office is not responding to these signals.
However, we, some MPs, persisted, which led to a split in the National Assembly, which
eventually broke up until new elections were held.
In the new elections in October 2024, all parties made sure that Velichie did not enter the National Assembly, because on election
day and the next day, when the votes were counted, I received a phone call between 11:00 and 17:30, because this
is the day after the elections in Bulgaria at that time.
For example, if the elections were on the 27th, that would be the 28th. When the votes were
counted on the 28th, the count was stopped at 11:00.
By 11:00 a.m., 99.79% of the votes had been counted.
99.79 % were counted; counting was stopped for the last 0.21 %.
During this time between 11:00 and 17:30 I received a call with an offer of 100 million EURO to be placed under Delyan Peevski.
100 million euros - or if I refuse, the party will not move in.
It gets 3.99% and what will happen is that I will be arrested.
I even got a press release before the count was over, because during the count it looked like Velichie was going to get in.
I received calls from several TV stations asking for comment and I said, "No, Velichie will not
move in because I turned down this bribe offer."
And at 5:30 pm the final result was known: 0.21 %.
The count took six and a half hours, leaving Velichie 21 votes short of entering the National Assembly.
3.999% to demonstrate their strength and show that they were able to shape the vote down to one vote exactly as they wished.
Interviewer: And what did you do afterwards? Did you go to court?
Ivelin: What we carried out within seven days was the most extensive investigation ever
conducted during the elections in Bulgaria.
Within 7 days, we checked 3,000 constituencies with a total of 13,000 polling stations as well as
video recordings and discovered shocking crimes.
We have submitted a 700-page complaint to the Constitutional Court, as well as many CDs and
lots of information with many other violations.
And then we added a lot more when we reviewed the complaint, because we had already reviewed over 6,000 sections by then.
We uncovered shocking crimes, such as in a single municipality, Varbitsa, where it turned out that of the
4,200 who voted, the votes of 4,100 were manipulated.
- 4,100 out of 4,200!
We proved all this with witnesses, with people, with video recordings.
But there was also video footage that was broadcast on Bulgarian television.
However, the video recordings are not proof, the authorities explained.
Can you imagine that?
It's as if we were shooting someone.
We have a recording of the murder and we say the video footage is not evidence.
Then I don't know what is supposed to count as proof of the crime!
The Constitutional Court delayed the examination of this case for a long time so that a
government could be formed during this period.
Because if Velichie were in the National Assembly, it would not allow the formation of a government,
which would be illegal due to electoral manipulation.
And finally, on March 19, 2025, the Constitutional Court made a decision.
And Velichie was given one hundred and some more votes and it entered the National Assembly."
Interviewer: How many votes would Velichie actually have had if the elections had not been rigged?
Ivelin: Velichie would have gotten two or three times as many votes, because I had information from the sociological
agencies that analyzed the results during the voting itself.
And we initially had a very high result.
Then we also have our sympathizers in the information services who told us that they took votes away from us once around 3:30 pm
and the second time this person from the information service said, "I have never experienced such a brutal cut
where at least 150,000 votes were taken away from us."
Interviewer: Right, now tell me a bit about how exactly elections are manipulated?
Ivelin: Here is a witness to the election rigging, Hasan Hasanov from the village of Mengishevo,
Varbitsa municipality, who can briefly tell you about it.
He was an observer.
What falsifications were there back then?
Hasan: Well, specifically in the municipality of Varbitsa, mobile polling stations were set up where
over 97% of people voted for the DPS - Nowo Natschalo.
This means for Delyan Peevski, who together with Boyko Borisov is one of the main organizers of the Bulgarian mafia in Bulgaria.
In these mobile polling stations there were no mobile ballot boxes, but the ballot papers were simply handed out
to the people and you could see who voted for whom, which means the election was open and not secret.
They rigged the election.
Ivelin: What happens to these socially disadvantaged people if they don't vote for Delyan Peevski?
Hasan: Well, here's what happens: They are immediately deprived of all social benefits, welfare, hot lunch.
They will then not receive any applications for heating.
Ivelin: And these people would not get firewood for heating.
Would they not get any food either?
Hasan: Yes. Ivelin: How was voting done in Mingishevo in the voting booth with the machine?
Hasan: In Mingishevo, voting in the polling booth was done entirely with voting machines.
There was a man there who voted in their place.
That's why there are so many votes for DPS-Nowo Natschalo, which is impossible if we were to go back
to that village now to redo the election correctly.
Ivelin: That is, even the machine votes were manipulated by choosing who to vote for along with the human.
Hasan: Yes,
Ivelin: Was there a camera in a polling station that monitored who voted for whom?
Hasan: Yes, there was a camera in the town of Vurbitsa that was pointed directly at the machine,
The camera was personally monitored by Mayor Merdin Bayram the whole time.
Ivelin: Were there people who were threatened with dismissal or demolition of their homes if they did not vote for the DPS?
Hasan: Definitely, definitely. Always. It's always done before every election.
The mayor comes by and says: "If you don't vote for DPS-Nowo Natschalo, I will demolish your houses and cancel your hot lunch.
You know what I'm capable of, I've done it before.
Ivelin: The final result: A total of 4,200 votes have been cast.
How many did DPS-Nowo Natschalo receive?
Hasan: 3,906 votes.
Ivelin: 3,900 - 200 votes for GERB and 100 for all other parties.
Ivelin: So out of 4,200 people, 3,900 voted for DPS - Nowo Natschalo, 200 for GERB, the
second Mafiosi, and 100 for all other parties.
Ivelin: Elections are manipulated in many ways.
I will explain one of the ways, what some Bulgarians from Albania, who form a Bulgarian minority in Albania, told me; that
the elections in Albania were won thanks to an electoral strategy - a trick from
Bulgaria, which they called the "Bulgarian train".
Bulgarian election rigging is spreading throughout the Balkans, on the Balkan Peninsula.
If in Bulgaria, for example, there are 20 ways to cheat in elections, in Albania one is enough to win.
Just think how inventive we are in this system when it comes to rigging elections. So what is the Bulgarian train?
This is one of the scams that are currently being carried out.
A ballot paper is issued which is already filled in with the correct party and the correct candidate.
In Bulgaria, pressure was exerted to ensure that voters chose the candidates and parties specified.
In Albania, a ballot paper is issued that is already filled in with the right party and the right candidate.
The person who wishes to cast their vote comes in and receives a new, blank ballot paper.
They enter the room and throw in the completed ballot paper and take the blank ballot paper out with them as proof and
assurance that the specified candidate has received the vote.
They fill in the ballot paper from outside in the same way.
Then the next person comes in with a completed ballot paper, then they give them a blank ballot paper.
So this is a so-called Bulgarian train.
And in Albania this is how they cheat and win the elections, as an Albanian told me, or rather
a Bulgarian who is from a minority in Albania,
One possibility is that there are mobile sections in Bulgaria that go to the socially disadvantaged.
The socially weak are the most vulnerable stratum of society and they should be approached with a
box that guarantees the secrecy of the elections.
However, they go there without a box and so, for example, 800 votes are collected in one day, which, as we know, is impossible.
For example, they proceed in such a way that there are four constituencies with 250, no 200 people each.
It is absurd that you can visit 200 people in one day and ask them to think and vote.
They go there and hand in the ballot papers, but the mayor's man takes the ballot papers without putting them in the box.
He looks through them and if you haven't voted for the right candidate and the right party, they stop your social
support, they don't give you food, they don't give you firewood, because otherwise these people can't survive.
There are other possibilities, for example there are voting machines that are said to be impossible to fool.
And note, we have evidence, because we have a witness who goes to such constituencies, we have witnesses.
He goes to a member of the committee.
The committees are supposedly made up of representatives of all parties, but it turns out that they are
exclusively representatives of one party, the DPS.
However, they claim to be representatives of other parties.
We even sent official letters to the parties. Did you have representatives? Yes.
And we have provided evidence that this was not the case, in fact they are the same there.
What happens is that these people - for example, Hassan just comes in and they say to him, "Hassan, who are you voting for?"
But it is not Hassan who goes to the voting machine to cast his vote in secret; instead, a member of the electoral commission
stands behind the machine, at the machine's control panel.
And if Hassan says, well, I'm not voting for the right candidate, Hassan will be fired from his job and if there is something about
his house that is not registered, for example in the register, in the land register, then they will demolish his house.
And they don't even give him the right to shop in a store.
In other words, this person has fewer rights than a slave in the Roman Empire.
And that's why people only vote for those who are currently - how shall we say this, those who are currently in power.
Another type of rigging.
When the vote count begins, they take a pencil and make a small mark on the ballot paper for the opponent, making it invalid.
And so there are many invalid ballot papers where votes are taken away from the opponents.
Another possibility is that unclear ballot papers emerge during the count itself. And they always
let them vote for the party that is to be nominated.
There are other variants, there are many of them, but in the end the information services where Borisov and Peevski's
people sit also manipulate by adding votes from dead people.
What are votes from dead people?
There are 6,600,000 voters on the electoral roll in Bulgaria, and the Bulgarian population is currently 6 million.
That is impossible, we are also talking here about children, minors, who do not have the right to vote.
It does not matter whether they are Bulgarians living abroad or not.
A maximum of 5 or 5.5 million people can vote here.
Or we have 1,100,000 to 1,200,000 dead.
And the information service can end up with as many votes from these dead souls as they need to make things
right, because there aren't just two governing parties.
The two governing parties control all other parties and play opposition and governing party in front of the people.
And there's something else these people do when they have to manipulate the results:
They allow Bulgarians who live abroad but do not vote to pretend that they have returned to
Bulgaria and will vote in certain constituencies.
And we have proof.
A person votes, a ballot is cast, for example in the municipality of Simitli, but the woman is in Spain.
We call via video link and she is in Spain.
All right, how can she vote in Simitli while she's in Spain at the same time?
And in this way, election rigging is enormous.
They buy entire constituencies and separately they buy votes with money in Roma neighborhoods.
We have testimonies from people who can state in Roma neighborhoods who buys,
where they buy and how much money there is.
They do this through the mayors of the settlements, and these people completely distort the elections.
But the worst thing is that we have passed on all the evidence we have found.
We have also handed it over to the European Union.
We did a protest in Brussels and went to the European Commission building where we held a press
conference for all the media with all the election rigging.
No reaction. In Romania, the elections were canceled because the candidate was allegedly pro-Russian.
Everything is fine in Bulgaria, there are no problems, the videos, the other things, everything is
fine, because these are Ursula von der Leyen's people.
Interviewer: Well, what is the connection between the Bulgarian mafia and the European Union and Ursula von der Leyen?
Ivelin: Well, the link between the Bulgarian mafia and the European Union is the theft of European funds.
So if European money is flowing here, I will now name some of the biggest thefts.
They will happen in connection with this arms deal, where factories are to be built to produce weapons.
A factory is currently being built here in Bulgaria with the support of Rheinmetall, Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski.
This factory should have been built two years ago by a Bulgarian entrepreneur who was supposed to finance it from his own funds.
Then they stopped it and now this factory belongs to a German industrial and military giant and our mafia.
And they will finance this from European funds.
In this way, they steal, embezzle European money and create their own fortune.
Let me give you an example: the reconstruction and resilience plan.
Bulgaria will receive 6.5 billion from this reconstruction and resilience plan, which will go to medium-sized
companies that have suffered from the COVID pandemic.
The money flows into solar and wind generators, which are bought by Siemens and other European companies at twice the price.
In this way, after the bribe was paid to Europe, the Bulgarian rulers seize some assets for the second time and begin to
exercise even stronger slave rule over the Bulgarian population.
Why? Because once you buy electricity from a person, that person can cut off your electricity if you do not comply.
And Europe is promoting the transformation of the energy sector in Bulgaria from a state to a private sector.
And here again, the energy sector is controlled by these mafiosi who are putting even more pressure on the people.
How can you vote against them if your electricity is cut off?
Here is the mafia that is connected to Europe and Bulgaria.
Interviewer: Very good, thank you very much!
