A high-profile investigation into GPS jamming has intensified with the discovery of secret passages and a tunnel beneath a property linked to jamming devices. The Prosecutor's Office confirmed the existence of jamming activities, though no device was found at the specific Dragalevtsi location, and Prime Minister Rumen Radev has commented on the operation, referencing 'Ami'. In related political developments, the arrest of Gergana Petrova, preceded by footage of a local driver, has escalated with Petrova claiming the Prime Minister was aware of her shouts. Meanwhile, the Audit Chamber has identified significant corruption risks in four proposed government draft laws, adding to the ongoing scrutiny of governance. The GERB party also faces internal rifts and declining results ahead of its congress, though still aligned with Boyko Borissov's will. Further domestic news includes fierce protests in Elin Pelin successfully halting the annual burning of 200,000 tons of refuse-derived fuel, and a court ruling that politician Kostadin Kostadinov harassed Solomon Passy. Additionally, an activist's arrest during a visit by President Rumen Radev resulted in the dismissal of a local police chief.
