The Bulgarian state is currently without the leadership of the security services. They have beheaded themselves by September and will not be directed by those appointed under the previous prime minister, caretaker Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov announced.

Rashkov told bTV: "Do you know how many people got sick when the official cabinet took office? Did you know that the security services in our country went on unpaid leave until September? The question is who allowed them to receive this vacation?”
"There is no purge. There is a change of staff and there will be. The Bulgarian voters want a change and will receive this change. This change cannot be realized without the change of senior executives in the individual departments," Rashkov added.
