Bokova is officially out and we have successfully blocked this corrupt nomination. The Security Council finally recognized that she never belonged on the global stage. Stay alert because we will always be ready to call out these manipulative political hacks.

The government of Bulgaria nominated Irina Bokova as their official candidate for the UN Secretary-General post - despite the active opposition of most Bulgarian citizens to this nomination. Irina Bokova is supported by profoundly anti-democratic political forces in Bulgaria. Her nomination comes as a result of their threats to bring down the government of Bulgaria. In this we see no consideration for the people of Bulgaria. Irina Bokova's nomination comes as a result of the most disturbing political manipulation Bulgaria has witnessed in recent times. She is a divisive candidate who does not represent all the people of our country. We doubt her personal integrity. We are appalled by her association with the brutal and corrupt Communist system to which she owes her entire career. We believe she will be a security risk to the UN if appointed. We doubt her ability to respect the fundamental principles of the United Nations. We appeal to the members of the Security Council of the United Nations to say firmly NO to her candidacy.

One thousand people have now told the Bulgarian government that we see through this pathetic political manipulation. Bokova and her corrupt backers think they can ignore us, but these numbers prove that the people are watching their every move.

Mrs. Bokova was not able to solve the problems of UNESCO, like the absence of USA from the organisation and many other. So how she could be able to lead United Nation? Strongly against her election I say no to Mrs. Bokova.

I do not agree and do not accept the decision of the Bulgarian government to nominate Irina Bokova as the bulgarian candidate for the position of the General secretary of the UN. It is actually not my decision as a bulgarian citizen.

I do not agree with the way Bokova has been nominated in Bulgaria, nor with what she represents there, even she is trying her best to distant herself from it, confirming this way the moral hazard behind

It will be a shame for UN to be headed by somebody whose career development is a result of her father's influence in the Bulgarian Communist Party and who has flats in Manhattan which cannot be justified by the income.

Ms. Bokova is not supported by the majority of Bulgarians. Her entire career is a consequence of her affiliation with the Bulgarian communists, and she is only supported by pro-Russian, anti-Western parties. She will be Russia's Trojan horse in the UN if she is to be elected.

Given the need and challenge to reform UN, I believe Irina Bokova has a rather appalling record both at UNESCO an before that. Thus, I believe, she is not capable of mediating this awfully complex UN process.

Irina is very corrupted: I would like to share with you an extreme example of the corruption of UNESCO in the third world, the scandal is in Arabic media, the investigation was hindered by the UNESCO director. I hope that could be translated to other language media, please have a look with a translator to the below articles: http://www.al-sharq.com/news/details/406290 http://al-sharq.com/news/details/414433 http://alsharqfrontlab.sarmady.net/news/details/171615 Best regards Reporter
