    Default Bulgarian parliament refuses to let Turkish language to be used in the election campaigns

    Once again, the Bulgarian parliament refuses to let Turkish language to be used in the election campaigns!

    Bulgarian Remains Only Language for Election Campaigns
    Following an hour-long debate, Bulgarian MPs rejected a proposal to introduce a possibility for interpretation in other languages during election campaigns.

    Bulgarian MPs continued Thursday with the second reading of proposed amendments to the Election Code.

    Under Bulgaria's existing Election Code, the election campaign is conducted in the official language, Bulgarian.

    Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) proposed to include a provision stating that "if necessary, and if interpretation services have been provided, other languages than Bulgarian may be used during pre-election gatherings and rallies."

    The proposal was backed by a total of 21 MPs of DPS, with 92 votes against and 6 abstainees, according to reports of dnevnik.bg.

    DPS leader Lyutvi Mestan defended the proposal, asking what language would European People's Party (EPP) representatives have to use to address supporters of ruling party GERB, provided that they decided to take part in a pre-election rally in Bulgaria>

    Mestan accused MPs of voting against a priority recommendation of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and a resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), adding that they were not supposed to act surprised by the ongoing monitoring of election laws.

    Yane Yanev, leader of the marginal conservative Order, Law and Justice party (RZS) defined the proposal as very dangerous and provocative.

    "It is absurd of you to ask any European country to introduce Turkish as a second national language, or to go to New York, where a hundred different languages are spoken, and call for an election campaign in a hundred languages," he stated.

    Meanwhile, MPs of nationalist party Ataka who reiterated their stance against the speaking of Turkish in public places.

    I hope the Turkish party of Bulgaria brings this issue to the EU courts of human rights this time.

    It was the same case for the Turkish in Turkey before but it`s changed few years ago due to the pressure from EU and Kurdish party is free to do their election campaigns in Kurdish and they even speak Kurdish in the parliament meetings.

    While the so-called candidate country of Turkey was harshly criticized about this by the EU but the EU member Bulgaria is free from any criticism about the same case!

    Turkey is an unitary state too and we have similar articles in our constitution like the ones you linked here but this didn't stop EU`s harsh criticism towards Turkey about the usage of Kurdish tongue in the parliament and in the election campaigns. So, i expect same thing to be done to Bulgaria.

    Before those EU liberals,bureaucrats,zionists,masons and the rest of the herd,even come into thought on telling Bulgaria what to do in her internal matters I would ask:

    Do they let politicians in Germany,USA run an election campaign in turkish,arabic,urdu...?

    This is the second time Mestan is offering this and taking it to a vote in parlament,Im I right?
    Is there a law on regulating how many times you can put a subject on vote?
