Pre-election debate on bTV on the topic of “Regional Development and Infrastructure“.
"The biggest problems in the sector are the lack of complete highways, highways that connect cities and from border to border in Europe. We will design all the highways that need to be built with a bang", said Ivan Shishkov, “Progressive Bulgaria“.
"AM "Hemus" has become a road of corruption, but this is not the only problem. The road to Vidin - a road of shame", he added.
Nikolay Nankov, GERB-SDF: "Speaking of infrastructure, it is extremely important for economic development. The problem is that when a new regional minister comes, he cancels the previous priorities and starts working on his own."
"Over the past 5 years, fellow ministers of regional development have done nothing to terminate what they consider to be vicious contracts - on the contrary, they even indexed them."
Without projects, the MRDPW gives 40% advances for roads. Decentralization of municipalities is needed, announced Yordan Ivanov, PP-DB;
"We will inspect all roads that are under warranty. On the first day of the National Assembly, we will submit our decentralization bill so that mayors elected by the people will not be subordinate to party ministers," he added.
Kosta Stoyanov, “Vazrazhdane“: “The outrageous management has led to the fact that all road projects are being built on the principle of “repair of the repair”. We will stop corruption through internal control of construction.”
“There is a lack of targeted and regular policy in the sector. We need to think about decentralization in order to finance the roads,” commented on the topic Vladimir Georgiev, BSP-OL.
“The only thing that is lame in Bulgaria is corruption. Corruption deals account for up to 80% of thefts," believes Pavel Stoimenov, "Velichy".
"We would load the goods from the overloaded trucks onto the railway network, that way we would spare the roads," believes Ivaylo Kostadinov, "There are such people".
Taner Ali, "Alliance for Rights and Freedoms": "Bulgaria's priority is the "2027-2040" development program, in which the four regions must be unified in terms of infrastructure. Inequality between the regions is one of the scourges of the economy."
