The caretaker Minister of Economy Kiril Petkov saw a breakthrough in “There are such people” of businessmen who have been affected by his work in the department in the last nearly 3 months. This is how he explained the attack by Slavi Trifonov’s party against the Minister of Finance Asen Vassilev. It came after Vassilev had previously refused “There is such a people” to accept a ministerial post, and “Democratic Bulgaria” called to take in the future cabinet people like him, Kiril Petkov or the Minister of Education Nikolay Denkov. The MRF has announced that it will not support a future cabinet with caretaker ministers in it.
When he took office, Petkov began inspections in a number of large state-owned companies. Procurement without a tender was established almost everywhere, and money was distributed even in advance. As his successes at the head of the ministry, he pointed to the disclosure of the money distributed by the state company “Montazhi”, which deals with the repairs of dams, the establishment of the lack of control by the State Consolidation Company (SCC) in the distribution and spending of public money, as well as the suspension of the construction of the government center in Sofia.
I was expecting the attacks from GERB and MRF, because we stopped a lot of funds related to these parties. I was surprised by the attack from “There are such people”. and then an attack by them. Those to whom we have stopped their millions are doing everything possible to keep people like us from staying in power, “Petkov explained.
According to him, the struggle of the caretaker government is with the big companies, which can afford to “bow their heads” for 3 months and wait for the cabinet to change. According to him, the affected businessmen “use every gap in the parties and apparently found one in” There are such people “.
“We knew we were going against people with huge interests. For the first time, we checked companies that win big public contracts. If their contracts are stopped, they can’t exist. It’s not that hard to stop the money they need. are people without fear, “he added.
