Furthermore, a <a href=\"http:\/\/hackertarget.com\/wordpress-security-scan\/\" target=\"_blank\">simple online test<\/a> shows that the 3.5.1 version of WordPress is out of date and has bugs and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bivol.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Capture_2013-11-08_a_10.40.08.jpg\" alt=\"Capture_2013-11-08_a_10.40.08\" width=\"600\" height=\"229\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This site is part of a project funded by the Directorate General Communication of the European Parliament to promote the upcoming European elections. Other portions of this project include a conference in Sofia University and a drawing competition for children. The project will conclude just before the European elections, when a reenactment of the work of the European Parliament, (\u201cEP Live\u201d) will be held.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The cost of all this EU-suitable propaganda is 118 720 euros. EP funded 50% of the amount with a grant and the other half is provided by the contractor in the project \u201cActive Group\u201d Ltd., a company solely owned by Monica Yosifova.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Directorate General Communication firmly rejected suspicions of conflict of interest arising from the fact that Monica Yosifova is the wife of the Bulgarian President of the Party of European Socialists (PES), Sergey Stanishev, and PES will also participate in the propagated European elections. An EP spokesperson explained that the project has received a very good rating from a committee composed of six \u201cindependent\u201d experts, all working in the European Parliament, and Monica Yosifova does not receive a salary for this project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bivol asked to see the financial parameters of the project with the exact allocations: salaries for IT professionals, web hosting, and consumables, among others. However, it emerged that this information was classified by the Directorate General Communication, which invoked Article 35 of the Financial Regulation of the European Parliament and Article 21 of the Rules of Application according to which \u201con the basis of article 133 of the Financial Regulation and article 191 of the Rules of Application, documents not made public before the request to have access to these documents was made, cannot be made public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This strange wording conflicts with Regulation 1049\/2001, which in turn entitles every EU citizen to have access to any document produced by the European institutions, while limitation of this right cannot be done on the basis of other regulations. Bivol resent the request to obtain financial information about the project and is preparing a complaint to the European Ombudsman and the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>European Grants also \u201cFeed\u201d Bulgarian Organized Crime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A check of grants, distributed under the same program by the Directorate General Communication over the past years, shows that the largest beneficiary in Bulgaria was \u201cBulgaria on Air\u201d TV, which belongs to Varna-based group TIM. \u201cBulgaria on Air\u201d has received almost 150 000 euros in 2012 for a communication campaign to provoke public interest in the decision-making process of European institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2005, US Ambassador to Bulgaria, James Pardew, wrote in a secret diplomatic cable that TIM was the \u201cup-and-coming star of Bulgarian organized crime\u201d and \u201cone of the largest and most serious economic concerns in Bulgaria.\u201d \u201cTIM is involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including extortion and racketeering, intimidation, prostitution, gambling, narcotics trafficking, car theft, and trafficking in stolen automobiles,\u201d wrote Pardew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">At the same time, when TIM\u2019s TV was absorbing European taxpayers\u2019 money, the so-called \u201cAnti-Mafia\u201d Committee was working in the European Parliament and produced a report with recommendations to combat organized crime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On the basis of this report, a plan to fight mafia for the period 2014-2019 was prepared, which lists attacking financial resources of organized crime as a top priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The site <a href=\"http:\/\/razberiep.eu\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/razberiep.eu\/<\/a>, created under the project \u201cHow Do We Understand EP,\u201d by the company of Monica Yosifova was made with the free software WordPress, while its graphics and vision&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","kia_subtitle":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5542,5829,5823],"tags":[5157,5156,5158],"class_list":["post-20283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investigations-en","category-b-files-monica-en","category-b-files-en","tag-european-parliament-en","tag-grantgate-en","tag-monika-yosiffova"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
