A warning has been issued in Bulgaria concerning a perceived "restoration of cadres from previous times" within the regional directorates of the Ministry of Interior (MoI). The statement suggests that individuals who had inspired public confidence are being removed or sidelined, potentially signaling a shift in the MoI's leadership and direction.
The commentary implies that the current government is replacing the heads of regional MoI directorates with figures who may not align with the changes that had previously fostered public trust. The article notes that these replaced officials were previously praised by the current administration for their work.
This development raises concerns about the continuity of reforms and the potential return to outdated practices within the law enforcement agencies. The article frames these changes as a step backward, questioning the motives behind the personnel shifts and their impact on the public's belief in the possibility of positive change within the MoI.
They have started to 'collect' colleagues who restored people's hopes! Silently, the changes of the heads of the regional directorates of the Ministry of Interior, who made Bulgarians believe that change was possible, and whom the current government praised for... have begun.
