Surveillance is still an issue (Updated)

Bogomil Shopov reports that the game about allowing MVR, the ministery of interior, to monitor to communication between citizens online.

On his blog, Bogomil writes that the minister of MVR persisted that the increased possibilities to look into digital data are necessary. In a session the comission of transport has accepted the law acccording to a wording that deviates from the one the parliament handed over the comission.

The actual wording is actually closer to the proposal originally rejected. This counter-constitutional manouvre was carried out by the delegates from the socialists, and the turkish minority party. They used their majority in the commission to defy the parliamentary decision.

The issue here is thus not only the fact that some politicians want to give MVR the right to look into citizens' elevctronical data. It is also a break of rules for the democratic work. These politicians will is carried out against the parliament's decision. The president is also on the parliament's side.

In Bulgaria the parliament and the president are directly elected by the people, not the government or the commission of transport.
