„ The most urgent problem to be solved at the moment is the lack of water in over 300 settlements. Undoubtedly, the drought is one of the reasons, but far from the only one. There are at least four more:
1. Fragmented, unclear and uncontrolled ownership of the dams between 4 ministries, regional governors, mayors and private individuals.
2. . Cut and sold for scrap by GERB Irrigation Systems.
3. Old and depreciated water supply network.
4. Private HPPs of untouchables who draw water resources and accumulate bundles at the expense of human misery of over 200,000 people. Stop them temporarily“.This was stated by the People's Representative from the “BSP for Bulgaria” Cornelia Ninova in her post on social networks.
Here is what else the BSP leader wrote in resignation:
„Today I asked written questions to four ministers and the prime minister about how much they are, to whom they belong, what amount of water the private hydropower plants are currently drawing. I will post them as soon as I get them. I know what's coming next. What scum will be poured upon me. I know how big and whose interests I will affect MPs, ministers, businessmen and people in the BSP including. It's not my first time. But I choose to side with the people who live in inhumane conditions in 40 degree heat for months on end.
Regarding the first three problems that require medium and long-term measures:
The caretaker government gathered ministers and created a working group. Don't waste time and energy. Get Minister Petko Nikolov to find and provide my report on this matter from the time I was Minister of Economy and Industry. Then we created a working group of all interested ministries, agencies, regional governors, the association of municipalities. Problems are described there and solutions given. I presented this report to the National Assembly. I raised the alarm about what was coming. Alas, after the fall of the government, no one lifted a finger.
I will post my 2022 report. I hope it will be useful and find managers who really want to solve people's problems.
