European
Parliament to investigate Bulgaria’s wiretapping
scandal: PES President urges EPP to “condemn GERB
illegal activities and call for the resignation of
Tsvetan Tsvetanov”

The Party of European
Socialists (PES) laments the recent statement by
the Chairman of the EPP Group Joseph Daul that
widely criticizes the European Parliament for
assigning to the Committee
on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs
(LIBE) the examination of the illegal wiretapping
scandal in Bulgaria. Mr. Daul, refusing to talk
about the wiretapping violations under Tsvetan
Tsvetanov’s term as Interior Minister, showed
concern about the effect this investigation might
have on the upcoming Bulgarian general elections
and declared that EU institutions must not become
“the stage for EU Member States' internal
political debates”.

Editorial

Vice-President, Elena Valenciano and the Spanish

another example of our member parties commitment
to grassroot organisation.
