Vasil Pandov from the Continue Change-Democratic Bulgaria coalition is taking Slavi Trifonov to court after the There Is Such a People party boss accused him of stirring up violence during protests. Pandov said both Trifonov and Delyan Peevski are running coordinated smear campaigns against him with straight-up lies, and he pointed out that health officials plus the family of a dead cop already cleared him of any involvement in that officer's death. The lawmaker said he was nowhere near the Ministry of Health incident where provocateurs showed up, and police chiefs confirmed there were agitators planted at the demonstration.
If Pandov wins the defamation case, he plans to donate whatever compensation he gets to groups that help women escaping violent situations. He called out the timing of the attacks against him, saying Peevski and Trifonov dropped their accusations on the same day to distract from actual policy debates like his proposal to make the National Health Insurance Fund cover flu shots for kids.
