Bulgarian Politician Demands 'Outing' of Gay MPs
- In an interview for NOVA TV on Friday the populist leader said gay people in power were hiding their sexual orientation, which potentially makes them “dependent on people who have secret recordings of their activities.
“I do not understand why homosexuals in power hide. Maybe they consider this something shameful,” the MP said, noting that “as free people they march on the squares” and “want to be seen”.
The MP mused that, by being open to blackmail, it could even “lead us to war with Russia”.
Mareshki, who owns chains of low-cost pharmacies and petrol stations, entered parliament for the first time at the snap election in March.
