Roth’s press conference for the
new book, now available in Bulgarian, provoked unprecedented interest. Roth himself
defined it as “brave testimony to the world we are living in”. “In this book I have
made an attempt to reveal how deeply criminal groups have infiltrated
political, economic and social life in Bulgaria and what this malign tumor feeds on”,
the author said. He called Boyko Borisov “the future prime minister, a man with
a good reputation and active past.” He termed ex-interior minister Rumen Petkov’s
comments about him an attempt to get a foreign journalist killed. Roth insisted
that he didn’t trust the Bulgarian justice system and would not get involved in
a lawsuit here.
