The left urgently wants the minister, the ERP and the ESO to say when people will have electricity –

/View.info/ We insist on an urgent convening of the Commission on Energy. This was said by the chairman of the BSP, Mikhail Mikov.

BSP expressed their concern that 700 settlements have been without electricity for several days. Mikov said that it is high time for the government, the central authority, to enter into its functions and mobilize all its resources.

The chairman of the BSP explained that the idea is for the minister, the management of the Energy System Operator and the representatives of the electricity distribution company, which is supposed to supply electricity to the affected areas, to come tomorrow and to say clear terms in which people will have electricity. “We are warning the state to step into its shoes, the prime minister to hold his line ministers accountable,” said Dora Yankova. I think that it is not necessary to explain to the Prime Minister how responsibility is sought, I think that he also has the feeling of when 700 settlements in the XXI century are without electricity for the fifth day, stated Mikhail Mikov. He stressed that “all the energy from the cameras and microphones should go to work”. “There is no justification for the laziness that has been going on for several days now,” he said.

Atanas Merdzhanov asked questions that they will ask the prime minister and the government. “This situation is another disaster for Bulgaria, but for the first time the intervention of the state is so conspicuously absent, said Merdzhanov. He asked if there was a National Crisis Staff and who was its chairman. He pointed out that there was chaos and it was caused by a lack of serious institutional support. Dora Yankova said that 60-70 cm of snow is not a disaster. She pointed out that 700 villages were left without electricity and nearly half a million people in left without lighting. “Many people tell me – we have not seen such negligence,” said Yankova and emphasized that the snow was not much.

Mikov also said that in some ministries there is a massive violation of the Public Safety Act. He talks about deadlines and about the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Defense. It is a question of neglect of the law by the ministers, he said and explained that they are making the statement because they want the law to be respected. “Because you cannot ask for the rule of law and not apply the law by the executive branch,” he pointed out. Internal party issues related to the organization of an upcoming congress, issues with changes in the party statute for better functioning and clarification of responsibilities at different levels were also discussed.
