Visits are twice a month for 40 minutes, and I have only been able to see him twice since he was arrested on July 8. We talk through glass, on a telephone receiver with two other people in the room.
This is how Blagomir Kotsov’s wife Kamelia described her communication with her husband to NOVA.
Kamelia was in Sofia on Friday when the case regarding the Varna mayor’s pretrial detention was heard.
“This is a mockery of the people, a mockery of faith in democracy. Institutions that are supposed to be the pillars of a democratic and lawful state are being ridiculed by their own representatives. Discredited. Their work is discredited,” she said.
In front of NOVA’s camera, she described what was happening as a tragedy for the whole family, from which they would take a long time to recover.
“I can’t attend these visits because I have to take care of the children. I managed to see him twice. My 2-year-old keeps asking where his daddy is. I tell him that he is fighting dragons and when he defeats them, he will come home to us,” the wife of the mayor of Varna said through tears.
