Municipal councilor Vanya Grigorova allowed herself two things: to speak unprepared on expert topics and to use vulgar language. On the second point, the level is too low to be worth attention and time. A matter of upbringing. On the first point, however, it is important to answer her, because BDZ and their privatization is an important political issue.
Therefore, first of all, let me congratulate Grigorova for supporting the position of “Unruly Bulgaria“ on the topic of BDZ and considering it good and correct. So far so good! I think that the former trade unionist should have absolutely no doubts about the expertise of the positions expressed by the party, both on all sectors, and specifically on the topics of BDZ, Bulgarian Posts, Urban Transport and road safety. We have expertise! And consistent positions, unlike her.
And now specifically about BDZ and Grigorova's clumsy accusations against Kornelia Ninova.
You correctly quote what is written in the Recovery and Sustainability Plan. However, the government of K. Petkov, with the participation of the BSP at the time, had no idea of dividing the railway network into three lots and giving them to private companies, and accordingly the subsidy and the new trains would go to them. That is why no such procedures were announced, as is planned now.
What we had united around then was: not to divide the national railway network into lots, to conclude a public service contract with BDZ for the entire railway network, because the regulation allows it, and accordingly - to provide them with the state subsidy, and since the only operator will be BDZ, the state will also provide it with the newly purchased trains under the Public Works Development Plan.
Read it twice. I think I am clear enough, Ms. Grigorova. If you have any doubts, you can read the transcripts of the meetings of the transport committee on the Parliament website. Everything is documented there. And if you need witnesses, I think that the CITUB has a very strong and competent union in BDZ, which was an indispensable part of saving BDZ and can confirm what I said.
We cannot help with your offensive qualifications and language. It is too late.
