Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova sharply attacked Bulgaria and spoke about « witches hunting » after BNT reports on children’s competitions, behind whose organization are agencies of the Russian state or openly related foundations, have echoed in public space, including politics.
The foundation behind one of these competitions describes the goal of « serving Russia » as part of the ideology it shares on its site and with which all interested in the country involves the world. Among the organizers are sanctioned Russian agencies, or they are on the EU sanction list are on their boards. PP-DB MPs sent questions this month to the education minister, whose department in turn asks the schools whether they were involved in events related to Russian propaganda.
Zakharova reminded of March 3 of Russia’s « selfless assistance »
« The Bulgarian Ministry sent a thematic questionnaire to its subordinate institutions and obviously this is only the beginning; it will not end there, » Zakharova continues. « If we can talk about any propaganda here at all, then this is an extremely anti -Russian propaganda, as is conducted by certain political circles in Bulgaria. » It is also told about the reports of the « state » (Zakharova probably wants to say « public ») television, claiming that the media was distributing « all these nonsense » that Bulgarian children could not participate in Russian competitions or competitions with « Russian after ».
« This is a classic » witch hunt « in the spirit of totalitarian practices of the 20th century. We are dealing with a shame for a contemporary civilized state phenomenon, a primitive implementation from the official Sofia of instructions from the outside, to eliminate any manifestations of sympathy by Bulgarian citizens to Russia, « the message is repeated verbatim. Bulgarian Society, « Especially in Bulgarian Patriotic Structures ».

« Of course, we will continue to draw the attention of the world community to the screaming violation of Bulgaria to the rights of its citizens and international norms in the field of humanitarian cooperation, » Zakharova continues.
