The election of Georgi Gvozdeikov: He remains a caretaker minister, leaves "We continue the change" - 1

Georgi Gvozdeikov is one of those ministers who have been proposed by the current government to continue in the office of Dimitar Glavchev, recalled "Dnevnik".

Hours after his name was announced, his party "We continue the change" excluded him from his ranks. "Political cabinets should be politically neutral, not balanced,", commented Kiril Petkov, co-chairman of "We continue the change", on this occasion.

So far, Gvozdeikov has not given a specific reason for his decision to be acting minister of transport and communications. He recently re-launched the corrected public order for the purchase of 35 electric railcars.

Its value is BGN 1.1 billion and is financed under the Recovery and Sustainability Plan. In its first version, it was disputed with a complaint to the Commission for the Protection of Competition. An order is also being prepared for 20 high-speed trains, which develop 200 km/h and have a capacity of 300 seats. The completion of these projects may be his motive for agreeing to stay.
