The Council of Ministers hid the list of 4,400 state-owned properties announced for sale.
This was reported to the Bulgarian National Radio by blogger, IT specialist and open data activist Boyan Yurukov, adding that information about auctions was also deleted:
"The auctions are ongoing - 11 new ones were announced on Thursday immediately after the parliament's vote, and 6 auctions have somehow disappeared from the Agency for Public Enterprises and Control (APPK) page. I would like to think that this is a technical error and someone deleted them by hand. I see that it is something that is not in their methodology, but they do it.
There is no explanation why the table has disappeared and has not been replaced with anything new. Even MPs have asked, but there is no answer. The list has disappeared and there is no new one. They hid the list in the hope that the information will stop being published, perhaps. We still don't even know what a lost necessity means".
It seems like it is about sales to fill some hole in the budget, commented Yurukov.
