Vasil Vassilev: Concession for Bulgaria's waters?  - 1

30 billion leva were needed to replace the water infrastructure, cry the government's scoundrels. If they are not found, we are waiting for a regime, waterlessness, drought, filth ….

Everyone knows that we do not have that kind of money. We will not have it. Then? Don't worry! At some point, a generous foreign investor will blossom, promise that he will renew everything and …. will receive Bulgaria's waters on concession.

He warned about this on "Facebook" Vasil Vassilev.

This is exactly the purpose of the loudly advertised water crises in Pleven and everywhere else.

People are being prepared to swallow another blunder of the corrupt authorities - either we will give Bulgaria's waters on concession or you will have no water. Choose for yourself!

The gigantic Sofia Water scam was carried out according to the same scheme in 1995. The then mayor Yanchulev drained the Iskar dam to cause a water crisis in Sofia, which was a pretext for his successor Sofiyanski to give the water to a concession.

They were going to fix the network, the municipality had no money, now was the time.... The citizens of Sofia did not realize how they had been tricked.

The water that the foreign concessionaire buys from the state-owned Iskar dam for 2 stotinki per cubic meter is sold to them for over 120 times more - 2.40 - 2.50 cubic meters. This water is increasingly dirty, it is already unfit for drinking, the network of pipes and canals is still corroded, and the concession was extended for another 8 years.

The same fate is in store for Bulgaria's waters.
