The electoral situation has led GERB and MRF to invent "fake news with the manipulation of voting machines". This was said by GERB co-leader General Atanas Atanasov in connection with earlier reported news that the code for the machines had been compromised. 
"It all started with a mythical report from SANS, signed by the deputy chairman of SANS. In a calmer climate after the elections, during question time, we will have to find out what this report says and why it was signed by the deputy chairman," Atanasov said. He added that the Central Election Commission should decide whether to cancel the use of electronic voting. According to Kiril Petkov, co-leader of We Continue the Change (PP), the PP-DB coalition is not worried about paper voting, but it is important that Bulgarians go to the polls and not give in to manipulation.
