The National Assembly sent me a response about the trips abroad of the MPs, which I requested under the Access to Public Information Act. 154 out of 240 MPs traveled at state expense. This was only in 10 months. It's strange that I was refused to declare the persons accompanying them because it was personal data. They are clearly hiding something. I will look for these answers next year. At first reading, there are business trips that are absolute excursions. Debauchery, privileges and outrageous expenses. Here are a few pilot examples.
This is what he wrote on "Facebook" Kaloyan Metodiev.
The week when the parliament is not working due to lack of quorum, an entire delegation is in Osaka for Expo. For this 6-day visit, Raya Nazaryan (GERB) costs taxpayers 15,012 leva, Toshko Yordanov (ITN) - 15,012 leva, an anonymous MP from Dobrich Maya Dimitrova (BSP) also 15,012 leva, Daniel Lorer (PP-DB) for 6,829 leva, Denitsa Nikolova (GERB) did not even account for the money.
MP Kiril Dobrev (BSP) was in Paris for 5 days and was paid 5,757 leva. He traveled to Baku with Kiselova, but he does not have a business trip, which raises the question of what basis he is riding on the government plane. Four people, led by Kiselova, for a 120-seat plane. The Roman debauchery here is blushing with shame.
Hristo Gadzhev (GERB) has gone on business trips eight times worth 16,636 leva.
And here, as in the Council of Ministers, we have groups of pilgrims to Mount Athos (they are driven by the NSO and receive business trips) - Hristo Garzhev (GERB), Deyan Dechev (BSP), Krasimir Yordanov (BSP), Kalin Stoyanov (DPS), Ventsislav Asenov (ITN). The exotics include Colombia (Al. Simidchiev, PP-DB), South Korea (Atanas Atanasov, BSP), Mexico (Denitsa Dimitrova, PP-DB). There is also a group in Andorra. A BSP MP - Galin Durev was paid to go to France for 4,770 leva, but no one knows to which city and why (blank field in the report). How Yavor Bozhankov (PP-DB) was in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for one day is an interesting question?
At first reading and against the backdrop of the difficult year (prices, water shortages, traffic, floods, fires), parliamentary tourism has been swirling in the most critical moments and it is unclear why as entire delegations. And the dirtiest thing is that during the preparation of three budgets this year, ministers and deputies did not stop repeating that there is no money in the state and that the people had to tighten their belts. While they were loosening their.
Some parliamentary groups such as GERB, BSP and ITN have been like "untied" for trips at state expense. This parliament, this majority and government have proven that it is unworthy to govern the country and bring benefit to the state. They are only interested in privileges.
