He was asked about the information of “24 hours” that builders are leaving the site of “Hemus” (see here).
The last payment was made on December 20, but it happened without my knowledge, Karadzhov said. Since then, we have not paid a penny, and this is due to the fact that there is not a penny in the budget for the special account for Hemus. this next knot should be untied, “the deputy prime minister added.
