/ world today news/ She is now the highest-ranking Bulgarian woman in the hierarchy of world international organizations: former executive director of the World Bank (WB), and currently the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, ex-European Commissioner. On 30 November 2010, she was named “Commissioner of the Year” and “European of the Year”.
During t.m. she was accused of improperly pressuring her subordinates at the WB to falsify data in favor of China in order for Beijing to move up to 78th instead of 85th in the “Doing Business” ranking for 2018 That’s the conclusion of an external investigation by US law firm Wilmer Hale, which said the pressure to improve China’s performance came at a time when the bank was seeking China’s support to raise capital. Mrs. Georgieva visited the home of the leader of the ranking team to receive a printout of the ranking with the improved indicators and to thank him for helping to “solve the problem”. The name of Simeon Dyankov was also involved a former subordinate of hers at the bank.
Yesterday, according to Reuters, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, a Democrat, and James Risch, the committee’s top Republican, wrote to President Biden asking him to order the Treasury Department to provide “full accountability” for the data. of the SB, which are suspected to have been falsified with her participation.
Kristalina Georgieva rejects accusations that she pressured subordinates to falsify data in the interest of China and the conclusions of the external investigation with a counterattack against a person from the team of the then president of the bank, Jim Yong Kim.
The US Treasury Department, which oversees the country’s participation in the two international financial institutions, continues to investigate the allegations against Ms. Georgieva. The head of the department refused a telephone conversation with the Bulgarian woman from the beginning of the scandal, and K. Georgieva’s spokeswoman did not comment. The director of the IMF has been criticized and called to resign, but at the same time her defenders have appeared, such as the vice-president of the EC, Valdis Dombrovskis. According to the famous economist Jeffrey Sachs, Kristalina Georgieva is a victim of anti-Chinese hysteria in the USA. Many in Congress wanted her to leave the IMF because she was not a staunch enemy of Beijing. Prof. Rumen Gechev stated for FAKTI.bg that she is the scapegoat in a big geopolitical and geoeconomic maelstrom.
Opponents and probably among them also envious of K. Georgieva’s dizzying career during socialism and under the Bulgarian version of restored capitalism usually emphasize the following inconsistencies and blemishes in her biography:
1. The claims, incl. to her classmates from the 7th secondary school on Tsar Shishman Street, Sofia, that until about 1961-62 she called herself Stalinka and came from a “experienced class-party family”. But it is from the Karshovski deer family.
2. She was fond of handball and had the health and appearance of a man who could kill an ox with a blow from a pestle. She didn’t look like a financier. He began his scientific career at UNSS (Higher Economic Institute “Karl Marx”) in 1977, where he rose to the position of associate professor in the Department of Economics.
3. State agency “Intelligence” hid her file. Before 1989, Rumen Gechev, Stati Statev, now professors, and Kristalina Georgieva went at the same time to specialize in the West. The first two returned to Bulgaria and documents were released for them that they were recruited by the First Main Directorate of the DS before they left. For Kristalina Georgieva, not a single line came out. She remains on the line of the Fulbright Foundation on a long-term secondment in the USA and has turned out to have the most head-scratching international career. I.e. the lady has a blood-red biography under totalitarianism, washed with sinka (blue dust) under democracy. The Bulgarian European Commissioner was the US candidate for EU foreign minister. Hence the doubts about membership in one of the Masonic lodges and/or possible recruitment by the DS, later re-recruitment by the CIA.
4. But how else after 1989 will the lady end up in the World Bank, for three years she was its representative in Moscow (2004-2007), and after the Russian mission she became one of the 24 vice-presidents of the bank? Perhaps by analogy when a month after the fall of the Berlin Wall the Yankees got hold of the Stasi foreign intelligence archives and many of the hundreds of agents of the GDR went into state service?
5. As European Commissioner responsible for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, instead of Rumyana Zheleva, who failed in the EP, she did not help Bulgaria even once – neither in the flood in the village of Biser, nor in the earthquake in Pernik, nor in the flood in Varna and Dobrich. He even “spilled the wisdom” that the fugitive immigrants in our country could help solve the demographic crisis and the problems of the labor market.
6. When the candidacy of Irina Bokova was announced and an election campaign was conducted, at its meeting on September 28, 2016, the government of Boyko Borisov, under the pressure of the Sorosoid public, nominated Kristalina Georgieva for the position of Secretary General of the United Nations. Thus, with her knowledge and complicity, our country lost its best chance for this post for years to come. On October 5, in the vote in the UN Security Council, in which K. Georgieva participated for the first time, she ranked eighth. Antonio Guterres was elected UN General Secretary.
7. In the Juncker Commission (1.11.2014 – 1.12.2019) she was deputy chairman and commissioner for the budget and human resources, but already on October 28, 2016, the World Bank announced that Kristalina Georgieva will start work in the bank as CEO since January 2, 2017. That is, again from Brussels “undercover” in Washington after the “programmed” (?) failure.
8. Kristalina Georgieva became the head of the MBF in October 2019, after the institution increased the maximum prison term of 65 years for all its officers. The Bulgarian had just turned 66. Coincidence?
MBF is the world’s media that plays a key role in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fund provides support for the distribution of funds in the amount of 650 billion to 190 member countries of the Fund. The Executive Board of the IMF began an official review of uppoca. The ethics committee is now looking at the report, and the analysts say that the scandalous statements can cause a bad image for the Fund. So that the Bulgarian caretaker government and Mrs. Kristalina Georgieva personally do not have many options for an approach.
