Rumen Ovcharov to FACTS: Peevski speaks seriously, but funny and superficially about "Lukoil" (VIDEO)  - 1

Delyan Peevski speaks seriously, but funny and so superficially about "Lukoil". I wonder how there are people who can get involved. Only a month ago, Peevski urged authorities to check whether he had formed a "Lukoil" cartel to raise fuel prices in Bulgaria. What kind of cartel in the country where fuel prices are the lowest in all of Europe. The prices at "Lukoil" gas stations are between 5 and 7 stotinki cheaper than all other chains. And you claim that it is "Lukoil" that is forming a cartel... For what? For lower prices? This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTS“ and the program “Conversation“ by Rumen Ovcharov, former Minister of Energy and former senior functionary in the Bulgarian Socialist Party.

“Lukoil“ fulfills its commitments and has delivered the necessary quantities of ecological fuel, unlike other sellers, because some of them do not have the necessary quantities. But it has nothing to do with what the person Peevski is talking about. The pressure against Lukoil is very funny, because it is entirely at the Bulgarian expense. The pressure began in 2022, when the PP was in power. They suddenly decided that they would ban “Lukoil“ from exporting from Bulgaria, but without realizing that if Lukoil cannot export, it cannot work. “Lukoil“ produces 180,000 tons of gasoline per month. Where to put this quantity. In Bulgaria, about 15-20 thousand tons of “Lukoil“ are used and the same amount is imported. And then Bulgaria exported a lot to Ukraine. For the first seven months, the export value was increased 500 times, and then they stopped it“, the guest added.
