After the death of a detained in Varna: a mistake by medics, police officers with hapisots habits and insinuations

Did the police act properly in the detention of Yavor Georgiev in Varna on June 7, who died shortly after the arrest at a psychiatric hospital in the city? Former Interior Minister Philip Gunev, criminal psychologist Rosen Yordanov and the deputy chairman of the Ministry of Interior Union, Simona Popova, were discussed at the BBC.

In other countries in Europe, in cases of drugged person, it is a completely different effect – the instructions are different and rarely arrested, Gunev commented. He added that the widespread videos show that there was resistance to arrest, and the police were obliged to carry out one because that is the protocol. « The medics did not respond. It can be seen that there was a mistake – he was taken to psychiatry instead of toxicology, » Gunev added.

« For me there is a chronic, systemic problem () changing the way of thinking requires several things – all employees understand that they provide the security service, they protect, they have an important public function. Second – the professional management in the Ministry of Interior must understand that they must be the leaders, which means another type of behavior. According to him, the number of people in the system should be reduced to wait for a pension and to adapt forever according to politicians.

According to Simona Popova of the Ministry of the Interior Union, a wave of insinuations, political suggestions and the sentence of sentences has once again been unlocked before the competent authorities have ruled.

« Police officers have been working under endless tensions, which has escalated in recent years. The profession has been demonized. There are certainly cases of exceeding powers, but these are single cases and should not lead to the branding of an entire profession, » Popova said.
