PP-DB coalition insists that the former SANS chairman Plamen Tonchev be heard due to suspicions of pressure on him, announced the co-chairman of “We Continue the Change” Kiril Petkov, BTA has reported. A year before his term expired, he was elected to head the Commission on Files.

According to the MP, there is information that the name of Plamen Tonchev’s son is involved in a potential corruption scandal over medicines. “And here is the question – do we have another ‘hostage crisis’, blackmail and pressure against him, as in the case of the son of Dzhevdet Chakarov?,” Kiril Petkov said. This is the reason why the PP-DB submitted an official request for a hearing of the chairman of SANS with the question of whether he was pressured to become the “chief archivist of the files”.

The other important question, according to the MP, is how the change at the top of SANS will affect the national security and what policies the new chairman will pursue at a time when military operations are taking place 300 km from our country.
