The state should be able to hold officials criminally liable and close attractions if the risk to users increases dramatically or a serious incident occurs.
These are some of the changes in the new bill on general safety requirements for attractions, which was prepared this week, and which is subject to public discussion. In front of NOVA, the relevant minister Grozdan Karadjov commented on the goals they have set for themselves with the new texts.
"The first and main goal that this law achieves is that officials can be held criminally liable if their actions have resulted in death or bodily injury. We also propose a coercive measure – when security is drastically violated and the risk is increased – "This attraction should be stopped immediately," said the Minister of Transport.
