Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was nominated on Monday (27 September) for the European Parliament's annual human rights prize as European Union lawmakers sought to keep the public spotlight on his pro-democracy network, which has been banned in Russia.

Attempts by the outgoing caretaker government to oust Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev, who served under the previous government of Boyko Borissov, are continuing.

On Tuesday acting Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov approached the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and Director of the National Investigation Borislav Sarafov with a signal against Geshev for leaked eavesdropping.

Bulgarian caretaker interior minister Boyko Rashkov accused on Sunday the prosecution of keeping secret a list of 38 magistrates and politicians who own undeclared property abroad.

The list was made back in 2019 when the Bulgarian authorities asked foreign countries to inform them of the property owned by Bulgarian nationals.

The conference "Corruption and the Origin of Fake News" was held in the European Parliament. It gathered over 120 Bulgarian public figures, citizens and European MP's.

Green party co-chairman of the European Parliament, Ska Keller, has expressed her lack of confidence in the "guarantees" that Prime Minister Boyko Borissov (self declared "green man") gave yesterday in the Strasbourg plenary that only a second lift will be made in Pirin and will not allow to put "no tile anymore".
