Katsarov does not know and does not ask, the released doctor does not pick up the phone, the Council of Ministers is silent

The services investigated suspicions of hospital racketeering and interest in commissions

Strange silence on the part of the Ministry of Health and the government as to why a deputy was fired on Wednesday afternoon. the Minister of Health Dr. Dimitar Petrov.

The order is of the caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev. Reasons for the release are not specified, they are concise from the information service of the Council of Ministers.

Stoycho Katsarov does not know and has not asked why his deputy was released. “We are members of the political cabinet, which means that you can be fired at any time. The Prime Minister does not owe me explanations, and I did not want explanations either, “Stoycho Katsarov told Nova TV. However, Katsarov assured that nothing is being covered up, but no explanations are due.

Our term is over, we are in the Ministry of Health for another 2-3 weeks, he added.

According to acquaintances, however, SANS received signals that Petrov had taken commissions, tried to set up a private company to work for covid statistics, but failed because they discovered that it duplicated the activities of Information Services.

According to the sources of “24 Chasa” there was a signal that Dr. Petrov asked for BGN 90,000 from a hospital outside the capital in order not to change the director, he had also tried to racketeer the head of the University Hospital “St. Anna ”so as not to be“ scratched ”.

Unfortunately, Dr. Petrov does not pick up his phone and does not respond to the viber messages he apparently sees.

There is also no answer from SANS as to whether signals have been received against the Deputy Minister

Sources from “St. Anna ”claim that Dr. Petrov really pressed not to register the management of the medical institution, but failed.

They remind that the hospital was left without a scanner, although the Council of Ministers has allocated money for its purchase and the money has reached the Ministry of Health.

As early as the beginning of October, the health site scanner.news wrote that Dimitar Petrov would be removed.

The decision to replace him was made at the beginning of the term of President Radev’s second cabinet.

Even then, it was said in the health circles that Dr. Dimitar Petrov had gathered the dissatisfaction of the guild with his unforgiving attitude towards the medics and public statements about thefts in the hospitals. He has been most actively involved in the case in Pirogov since the summer, when even before the inspection of the fund was completed, he announced that the hospital had drained the National Health Insurance Fund with over BGN 1 million through 900 fictitious hospitalizations. He was at the heart of the attacks on Alexandrovska and the change of directors there. He himself did not hide that

there were other hospital directors for the shooting, his opponents say.

At the end of October, Dr. Petrov drew the wrath of the parents because he advocated a firm position for children to return to school only when their safety was guaranteed. He also insisted that students be tested in class with the consent of teachers and parents.
