Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski plans to present evidence from the Iva Mihaylova investigation to NATO, an attempt to use an international stage to highlight the conduct of fellow member states. Mickoski maintains that the dual citizen and her convicted father will face justice despite her presence in Bulgaria for medical treatment. It is a domestic legal dispute now being repackaged as a matter for Western intelligence.
The interior ministry has filed criminal charges against the director and several staff at the DPHM for abuse of duty, while in Brvenica, local elections began today with 88 ill or incapacitated voters casting early ballots. These administrative movements happen against a worsening economic backdrop: fuel costs for farmers have risen 21.7% in a year, and 38% of children are now living in what the Platform Against Poverty describes as risky conditions.
The healthcare sector continues to struggle with its own silence, as a new report suggests most workers are aware of corruption but refuse to report it. Meanwhile, the 'Safe City' messaging scam has returned to local phones, suggesting that even as the government focuses on NATO, smaller-scale digital predation remains unaddressed.
