On Monday, the Sofia Municipality Transport Commission will seek answers to the protesters' demands. What are the proposals for a way out of the crisis, NOVA reported.
According to “We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria“ The solution to the protesters' demands are bonuses to the basic salaries of workers, as well as bonuses for attracting new staff.
For Vanya Grigorova, one of the options is for the money to come from the municipality's capital program, which will not be implemented within the year.
GERB-SDF announced that they will seek solutions in dialogue with all parties to the negotiations on Monday.
Against this backdrop, Vanya Grigorova announced in front of NOVA's camera that the police and gendarmerie are standing at the entrances to the Sofia Metro depots, thus monitoring “labor discipline and therefore ensuring that there are no strike actions by employees there“.
For NOVA, the Sofia Police responded that the police officers at the metro depots are assisting their colleagues from the “Metropolitan“ security, in order to prevent persons from obstructing the departure of the first trains. locomotives.
The demands of the transport workers led to criticism and accusations in the local parliament. On NOVA, the municipal councilor from “Continuing Change-Democratic Bulgaria“ Dimitar Petrov saw a political attack in the actions of the unions.
“At the moment, they are not defending the actions of the workers, but of the politicians. The leaders of these protests are two municipal councilors - Ivan Kirilov and Vanya Grigorova“, he specified.
The reaction of Vanya Grigorova follows, who denied that the protests were led by politicians or unions.
“Terziev can always look for an excuse for the inability to deal with the situation, but we are not to blame for this. It is clear how the workers react to the proposal made by the mayor. With boos, cries of resignation. In some of the divisions, they are turning against their union leaders. I said on Monday - if the genie lets out of the bottle, he is unmanageable“, she explained.
On Monday, the Transport Committee of the local parliament will meet in an extraordinary session in search of a way out of the crisis. However, the opinions of the groups differ.
“The increase that the workers wanted can be given through the bonuses that they receive. The bonus is currently doubled for young drivers. A young driver will receive between 2,700 and 2,900 leva net starting salary“, said Petrov.
“There is 17 million leva more in the state budget for the capital's urban transport alone. There is a promise that 20 million leva will be transferred to the Central Transport Commission for metro security. This is 37 million leva. 5 million leva. Sofia Municipality has not transferred to the Central Municipal Government for months“, said Grigorova.
“Is the request for an increase of 400 leva reasonable - this is a high value and they initially started with high demands and it was normal that there would be no dialogue. Now we are in a phase of concessions. I see that the mayor has no desire to give in“, noted the municipal councilor from GERB-SDF Dimitar Vuchev.
