Bulgarian politician and leader of the Revival party Kostadin Kostadinov believes that hierarchs of the BOC concelebrating in Istanbul with representatives of the OCU aim to subjugate the Bulgarian Church to the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
The publication blitz.bg quoted Kostadinov's words, spoken after it became known about the decision of the ROC to sever ties with three metropolitans and two bishops of the Bulgarian Church due to their joint service with Ukrainian schismatics in Constantinople.
Kostadinov stated that the "specified metropolitans and bishops should be deposed for violating church laws."
He also believes that they "are attempting to destroy the independent Bulgarian Church by subordinating it to the Phanariots of the Ecumenical Patriarchate."
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that, according to Bulgarian politicians, the joint service of Bulgarian hierarchs with the schismatics of the OCU is a church crime.
