There are always breaches in any system, regardless of whether it is in culture or another sector. Operating with public funds should be subject to control, not only on a legislative basis. This opinion was expressed to BNT by Boil Banov in response to the scandal with the theaters in Razgrad and Smolyan and the detention of their directors due to revelations about embezzlement.
He compared these scandals to the draining of factories at the beginning of the transition.
Private structures have been placed at the entrance and exit of some institutions. What is happening now shows that the state is acting. The theater scandal is probably related to the considerable amount of money that has been spent on culture recently, said Banov.
In his words, being a theater director is more difficult than being a minister. The responsibility and expectations are great.
