News from BlueLink

The brutal attack on Bulgarian journalist and editor-in-chief of the 168 Hours newspaper Slavi Angelov on 17 March, 2020, exposed the failure of the Bulgarian rule of law in one of its main duties: to ensure the security and rule of law. This is how Pavel Antonov, managing editor and co-founder of BlueLink, analyzes the bloody crime in an editorial on our electronic publication Euromegdan.

BlueLink was one of the Bulgarian organisations who signed-on to a letter on behalf of Armenian tobacco control advocates.  The Armenian parliament just passed a strong tobacco control law bill in the first of three floor votes and we are trying to shore up support before the second vote.  The bill covers most key measures with strong support from Armenian MOH.

BlueLink is one of civil society organisations organised at National and European level, coming from a diversity of areas of citizens concerns, who have written to Věra Jourová, as the European Commission Vice President designate on Values and Transparency.

The attack on democratic civic organizations is an assault on the Constitution, statehood and rule of law in Bulgaria. It is inadmissible for representatives of the state power and the prosecutor's office to participate in it.
