The prices are huge. I know that people's expectations are huge too. What I did as a civil defender, I will continue to do now and in an institutional capacity. It will not be easy, but I will give all my strength to stop the outrages. People expect action. Let the speculators think about it. This is what the new chairwoman of the Consumer Protection Commission Maya Manolova wrote on her Facebook profile, reports "Focus".
"Focus" recalls that former Ombudsman Maya Manolova became the Chairperson of the Consumer Protection Commission earlier today. This was adopted by a decision of the Council of Ministers. Manolova will be the head of the commission until her 5-year term expires.
After the dismissal of Chairperson Maria Filipova and her election as Deputy Ombudsman, Alexander Kolyachev from the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet, currently a member of the commission, was appointed as the interim Chairperson of the Consumer Protection Commission. Kolyachev's powers as Chairperson were terminated, and he remains a member of the Consumer Protection Commission.
