As long as politicians interfere and only when there is an accident, only then do we talk about the energy sector, nothing new awaits us.
This was told to the Bulgarian National Radio by Ramadan Atalay, a deputy from the "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms - DPS" parliamentary group, and he added:
"It is very easy, using the situation, to come out with one chest in front of others and say that you want someone to resign. The difficult thing is to do what is necessary for the energy sector to function normally in this country. ... I have the feeling that Delyan Peevski wants to get to the power distribution companies (PDCs). There are only a few enterprises left that he has no control over. The first thing that has been heard lately is that we should nationalize them, and what will happen next - we will privatize them again. And who will privatize them - it is now clear what this is about. Recently, when Peevski starts to interfere in some sector, unpredictable things happen there.
According to Atalay, the problems with the power supply during the Christmas and New Year holidays are the result of neglect of the power grid and the lack of control by the Ministry of Energy.
The inspections for the winter preparation of the power grid are carried out before the season, not after the snowfall, he emphasized:
"If the ERPs are at fault, they will not be punished through the media, but through constant planning of the network, of the electricity meters and what is being done all over the world.".
The MP from the PG of "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms - DPS" was categorical that their support for a regular cabinet would not be unconditional:
"We are the only red line that can terminate the participation of those who won the elections dishonestly with corporate approaches. ... Boyko Borisov should not be afraid! The boy's (Peevski - editor's note) lamentation, as it has started, will sooner or later reach those who support him today. The cordon around him is not there, neither from Borisov and GERB, nor from those who are currently trying to form a government, but do not dare to clearly come out and clearly state it. There will be a government if we maintain the cordon, as the Europeans did in the EP. There will be a government when we know that democracy will be the most valuable thing in Bulgaria going forward".
