"....In this 8-year period gigantic genocide was carried out over the Bulgarian nation.At the insistence of foreign,hostile to Bulgaria factors,of our people is projected to remain 3.5 to 4 million residents.This is Bulgarophobe's plan and this plan is realised in front of us.If someone asks how,I will show him:when the right of the Bulgarians to be masters in their own country became stolen,when they will be left to die in misery and lack of medicines and medical services,by being subjected to terror by Gypsy bands,who everyday disrupt,rob,rape and maltreat the Bulgarian nation,after which nobody deliberately seeks out the crimes,committed by them,because this is the directive outside,not to investigate the crimes of these minority groups.The goal is for the Bulgarians to live in fear,to be discouraged,crushed,submissive.Hundreds of thousands of chronically ill are dying right now because mob companies of the previous cabinet make dirty deals with the life and health of the Bulgarians.Because relatives of the previous Minister of Environment are trading with medicaments for cancer and therefore there are not any medicaments,and hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians with cancer face a slow,excruciating agony."
