The former Bulgarian Minister of Innovation, Daniel Lorer, from Kiril Petkov’s coalition believes that one of the assailants of the beaten Hristijan Pendikov in Ohrid was a Bulgarian citizen and asks “why should we not talk about him?”. He reminds that Pendikov himself, on the other hand, is not a Bulgarian citizen, although he has Bulgarian self-awareness, which means that his case was heavily politicized in Bulgaria.
The person who was assaulted in N. Macedonia is not a Bulgarian citizen. He defines himself as a person with Bulgarian self-awareness. Bulgaria must first of all protect its citizens. However, one of those who attacked him is a Bulgarian citizen. Why not talk about him? What do we do about it?, asked Lorer in an interview with Bulgarian Nova.
