The hot topic of the Bulgarian press today is the resignation of Georgi Gerov from the Executive Bureau of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. The businessman withdrew from the party position under pressure from socialist leader Kornelia Ninova because of the fact that as a political person he arranged a private meeting between Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov and owner of the Overgas gas company Sasho Donchev.
Socialist newspaper Duma briefly announced the news of his resignation, pointing out that Gergov did not want to say what the topic of discussion between Tsatsarov and Donchev was. According to Donchev's public statements, at the meeting the prosecutor was critical of positions expressed in his newspaper Sega and asked him why he financed a party and a television. Tsatsarov has denied this and claims that Donchev was actually trying to put pressure on him. According to Sega, the meeting has "shaken the high levels of the BSP" and the party was threatened by a severe crisis. Dnevnik quotes an opinion of GERB leader and future new Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, who said that by going to the meeting, Chief Prosecutor Tsatsarov had fallen into a trap of the red oligarchs trying to restore positions of the former "Multigroup" that used to have a serious role in the relations between Bulgaria and Russia in the oil and gas sphere some 20 years ago.
Trud quotes him saying that "the trap against the Chief Prosecutor will catch those who have prepared it." 24 Hours quotes an opinion of the socialist that he had been a victim of an organized plot by backstage players linked to BSP, and puts in the headline his view that the scandal was actually targeting the coming “Borisov 3” cabinet.
