Interview by Elizabeth Dafinova
Q: Mr. Raidovski, how will you comment the
scandal in the MI surrounding Serbian drug trafficker Budimir Kuyovic?
A: The Kuyovic case is a result of the
activities of the MI after the fall of communism on November 10, 1989. For
almost two decades certain political groups intentionally contribute to a
negative public perception of the secret services and the MI. Respectively the
staff loses motivation. Adding to that the authorities are incompetent and serve
political and corporate interests. This renders MI personnel susceptible to
corruption.
Q: Do senior MI officials “protect” drug
traffickers on the territory of Bulgaria? Is it possible that the scandal was
caused by a power struggle within the MI?
A: A lot was said about MI officials
providing drug lords protection these past years. I personally cannot imagine
any senior official being that immoral. Occasionally police officers were
caught “protecting” dealers. They were fired and brought to justice. This is
what happens all over the world. It gets worse if the government is weak or the
state has no authority.
Q: On that note, the leadership of the
socialist party agreed to form a committee to investigate those involved in the
scandal. Does this mean Rumen Petkov will be replaced as minister of interior,
and will this harm the BSP?
A: In the months following the fall of
communism both the former communist leaders and new democrats (ex-party
secretaries) intentionally propagated hatred of the MI and especially the State
Security. The first group did this to atone for past sins, and the second – for
future ones. When they discovered the power of information and the
opportunities it provided to manipulate public opinion they entered into a
power struggle for the MI. This process has been typical of all past Cabinets
and still exists. Many party leaders, be they members of the majority or the
opposition, are unsatisfied with the minister of interior and want to control
the MI. This is typical of people who have had authority in the past. They
consider themselves irreplaceable and want to prove how great they are. In this
case I don’t think this will affect BSP leadership. On the contrary, after the
results of the investigating committee are publicized Rumen Petkov will come
out on top.
Q: Is it true that although the State
Security no longer exists, its channels for production and distribution of
amphetamines still function and are being used by certain groups within the MI?
