"This is already a joke. But a cynical one. The government has appointed a chairman of the water board to be responsible for the water crisis - Atanas Zafirov. Pleven, Lovech, Sevlievo, Breznik (poisonous water), Teteven, etc. are in a difficult situation. The most logical action is for this person to go to the field and city by city to set up headquarters, meetings, give tasks, organize and lead the solution to the problem. To stop private hydroelectric power plants and large-scale theft of water. Nothing like that. Zafirov left for a four-day visit to Armenia for the country's holiday!!! This was written on Facebook by Kaloyan Metodiev, a political scientist and member of the Executive Committee of "Nepokorna Bulgaria" and continues:
Zero management capacity. Zero interest in the problem of 500,000 people. Zero discipline and care.
Before that, he was in China for a week, twice in the Vatican, twice in Mount Athos, at a conference on glaciers in Tajikistan... A state excursionist. But it's not funny!
The government is seriously messing with the living conditions of the Bulgarian people. It is mocking their patience. It is playing with the lives and health of half a million people. They clearly do not want to solve the water crisis!
Borisov and Peevski should immediately order their Prime Minister Zhelyazkov to replace Zafirov. Immediately! To deal with a crisis, you need will, responsibility, desire, and poise. Zafirov's portfolio is clearly to expose us to the world."
