On the site of the historic house on the capital's st. "Stara Planina" No. 9, a 7-story building will not be built. "I will not allow the house on “Stara planina” to be demolished. The building permit has been revoked and the house will acquire a protected status.
The information was published for the first time on Wednesday evening on the NAG Facebook page. There, the Metropolitan Met said: "I have to point out that the construction permit issued by NAG officials in my absence and which I am withdrawing was issued on the basis of a court decision and on the basis of approvals from the former Chief. Arch. of SO arch. Zdravkov projects after coordination with the National Institute of Public Health at the date when the building was not yet a cultural monument. What I will undertake at the moment is to withdraw the issued construction permit, which has not yet been sent for notification to the RDNSK, nor handed over to an interested person, and I will begin a complete revision-analysis of the long-standing file (over 5 years) in the case, including all actions of the administration of the "Architecture and Town Planning" Department, the mayor specified.
Terziev did not fail to express his satisfaction with the fact that another emblematic house for Sofia - the "Strawberry House" will be saved and restored.
"Besides the good development for the house of “Stara planina”, there are two important lessons for all of us,", said Terziev.
The first is that in a legal state (the kind we want to be) you cannot fight injustice by breaking the law. Especially the injustices that you yourself (GERB) have created. Legal solutions must be sought and found. If there are none, then work should be done to change the laws, but it is not acceptable to stop projects that you have authorized with administrative grips and harassment.
The second important lesson is that public pressure can change things for the better. Be vigilant, be active, fight for our city. "Politicians often do not like vigilant citizens, but they are the basis of strong and good societies," says the mayor of Sofia.
