Municipal councilors from Democratic Bulgaria have demanded the resignation of Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova over a years-long unresolved problem with kindergartens in the capital. This is stated in a declaration of the group of “Democratic Bulgaria” in the Sofia Municipal Council / SOC /, presented at the session of the council today.
This year, too, the admission of children was marked by a number of problems. First, the electronic system had to be reopened after the expiration of all regulatory deadlines, because it turned out that a key marker was placed in an inaccessible place. Thus, more than 4,000 parents were unable to complete their applications. After the first ranking, about 10,000 children were left without places in kindergartens, the declaration said.
“Unfortunately, once again we have to talk about a long-standing problem, for which the Sofia Municipality obviously has no solution,” the councilors’ statement said. They recall that in 2008, Fandakova, as deputy mayor for education, resigned once due to problems with kindergartens. And in 2009, the then mayor of Sofia, Boyko Borissov, promised a solution to the problem within two years.
“During his third term and 12 years later, the mayor of Sofia Municipality is still unable to solve this case. On the contrary, in addition to the unclassified thousands of children, as a bonus in this case we have witnessed errors in the brand new electronic system, paid by the taxes of the citizens of Sofia “, say the councilors.

The mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova
Yordanka Assenova Fandakova was born in Samokov. He completed his secondary education in the 35th Russian to take the blame “for the failure of the kindergartens”. This was pointed out by the leader of BSP – Sofia, Kaloyan Pargov in a speech on behalf of the group of municipal councilors during the meeting of the Sofia Municipal Council.
According to Pargov, when the results of the first ranking came out, it became clear that 10,252 children did not find a place in the capital’s municipal nursery or kindergarten.
The answer
The most drastic delay in the construction of kindergartens is in the Lozenets region, where the mayor is from Democratic Bulgaria, said the mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova
Yordanka Assenova Fandakova was born in Samokov. He completed his secondary education in the 35th Russian during a briefing.
She clarified that this is a delay of a year. According to her, in the “Triaditsa” district, where children of nursery age are to be taken in, repairs cannot start for more than half a year, in “Krasno Selo” the design cannot be started for more than half a year, in the ” Sunrise “three months can not be issued a certificate of commissioning, provided that the garden is ready.
The mayor of Sofia inspected a kindergarten in the Lozenets district, which is one of 16 kindergartens the Sofia mayors are building with fully funded funding.
“It is not the first time we came for a surprise inspection and we see that there is a worker, no technical manager, no control by the district administration. Since there is a lot of talk about capacity and abilities, I want to draw your attention to the fact that this is a kindergarten This is a kindergarten that was to be completed in September 2020. It will accept children in September 2021. I read the position of the mayor of the region Konstantin Pavlov, who, of course, finds justification and explanations, but parents do not ask us for excuses and explanations. The facts are as follows – bills were made for five months. There were problems in the project when it was completed. The entire capacity, all our experts were on the ground constantly to help the Lozenets region to complete this kindergarten as soon as possible. Invoices are made for five months, an annex is signed for three months. They can be proved with the letters and documents we have exchanged “, revealed Fandakova and added:
“As soon as we were asked, we provided additional funding of nearly BGN 600,000. The initial value was BGN 3 million. All funds have been provided, but as you can see, the kindergarten is still not ready.”
According to her, 150 children are waiting to be admitted to one of the most densely populated areas. “Because today the municipal councilors read declarations. My parents and municipal councilors ask me, I answer in this way and in fact I should not answer here, but the mayor of the region should answer. The mayor of” Democratic Bulgaria “Mr. Pavlov. Instead of Ivo Mirchev and Hristo Ivanov taking pictures in front of the municipality yesterday and asking me questions, it is not bad for them to come to take pictures here and ask their questions to their mayor.. This is not the only case, “Fandakova added.
