Simeon Stavrev to FACTI: A 100 leva increase in transport is 13 million leva per year!? (VIDEO)

The protest that took place in front of the Municipality in defense of the mayor actually showed that Sofia residents understood what was happening, what scenario was playing out. I can state facts, and let people draw their own conclusions from them. A week ago, we from the PP-DB group explained that there is not enough money in the public transport system. The money comes if you buy a card or pay for parking in the city. The money collected is spent on transport. There are calculations. With an increase of 100 leva for each of the seven thousand employees in public transport, we were at a loss of many millions of leva. Each request – I understand both the unions and the leaders, 100 leva is an increase of 13 million leva per year. Where do we get this money from? This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTS“ and the program “Conversation“ by Simeon Stavrev, a municipal councilor in Sofia from “Democratic Bulgaria“.

"Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova said a week ago that she would not give money, and yesterday she said that she would give it!? The whole story is very fabricated. This scenario seems very fabricated to me, because deputies from GERB, including ministers, Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova, municipal councilors from GERB, municipal councilors from the Bulgarian Socialist Party of Bulgaria (BSP), joined the attack against the mayor. "They both seem to be employers of transport workers, and they don't give them money," the guest also shared.
