Ilhan Kyuchyuk Calls on Josep Borrell for European Protection of Hristo Grozev

Ilhan Kyuchyuk Launches Interparty Initiative in the EP in Support of the Journalist

The leader of the European Liberals, Ilhan Kyuchyuk, is calling for European protection of journalist Hristo Grozev and has submitted a written question to the EU High Representative, Josep Borrell. In the letter, Kyuchyuk, a Member of the European Parliament from the DPS, emphasizes that since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, in addition to the civilian Ukrainian population, innocent European citizens have also become targets of the Kremlin. The letter further states that, in addition to investigating the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Grozev is the most famous Bulgarian journalist in Ukraine, who has proven through his work that he can uncover and expose the misdeeds of Russian intelligence services.

“The news of the search for the journalist, recipient of the ‘The European Press Prize’ for investigative journalism, raises a number of questions that directly and indirectly affect the security of European citizens.

Will the High Representative/Vice-President strongly condemn the measure announced by the Russian Federation against investigative journalist Hristo Grozev, and will he demand its immediate removal?
How does the EU plan to ensure that Grozev and other independent journalists, wanted by the Russian Federation, receive the necessary protection?
How does the High Representative/Vice-President plan to ensure that such violations of human rights and freedoms against other European citizens will be prevented in the future?” the letter to Josep Borrell further states.

Meanwhile, Ilhan Kyuchyuk has initiated a petition in the European Parliament and started an interparty initiative in support of investigative journalist Hristo Grozev.
