Creeping fascism. This is how Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) parliamentary group deputy chairman Hamid Hamid described to reporters in parliament the piece of legislation being drafted by the Ministry of Finance, under orders by its chief and Deputy Prime Minister Asen Vassilev. As attested by the draft, the government will safeguard the systems of finance and economy by setting up an extraordinary decision-making body that, without trial and sentence, and only on malicious reports, will put together lists of people and companies to be penalised, and will seize their property and wealth.
The bill may have been dug from somewhere in the archives of Lavrentiy Beria, an unfulfilled Beria act, assembled with lines from the works of Himmler and Goebbels, Hamid said.
The incumbents wish to overpower their coalition partners, who for days now have been expressing dissatisfaction, one way or another. Unlike the ruling party We Continue the Change, their partners want to have a program of governing and supporting the people in times of crisis, the deputy chairman of MRF’s parliamentary group said.
