Fany Davidova, AIP, presents the nominations for the Tied Key anti-award

The Tied Key anti-award for an absurd administrative decision on an access to information request in 2013 was given to the Sofia Municipality. Instead of providing information to a request for the number, the grounds for establishment, and the borders of the security sectors in Sofia, the Director of Directorate “Public Order, Wartime Training and Emergency Management” responded that “in a global context such kind of information is of interest to terrorist and anarchical groups and organizations.” In this regard, the requestor was informed that a copy of the request would be sent to the State Agency “National Security” and to the Ministry of Interior for their official statement.
