/ world today news/ On Wednesday, the interrogations about the Turkish vaccines of ministers who resigned from the “Borisov” 2 cabinet continued, reported a BGNES reporter.
On Tuesday, the deputy prime minister and retired education minister Meglena Kuneva, the retired deputy prime minister and interior minister Rumiana Bachvarova, the retired military minister Nikolay Nenchev and the retired energy minister Temenuzhka Petkova were questioned by the capital investigation. All of them explained that they were asked how the decision about the Turkish vaccines was made under signature and whether their signature was actually under the decision. Resigned Prime Minister Boyko Borisov will not be called at the hearings.
The spokesperson of the Prosecutor General, Rumyana Arnaudova, has already announced that all ministers will be called for questioning regarding the Turkish vaccines. As of Monday, the resigned Minister of Health, Petar Moskov, faces three charges. His deputy, Adam Pesenski, was also charged. Both of them have “signature” restraint measures. Cabinet ministers must be responsible for how decisions of the Council of Ministers are made in absentia. The questioning is necessary because the decision on the Turkish vaccines was made only by signature.
Nikolay Nenchev will also be summoned to the capital investigation on Wednesday, but this time to explain about the MiG 29 repair deal.
BGNES recalls that at the beginning of the year, the prosecutor’s office initiated pre-trial proceedings in connection with the barter of vaccines between Bulgaria and Turkey. In 2015, our country received 100,000 doses of Pentaxim pentavalent vaccine as a donation from Turkey. It is against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae. The vaccine is widely used because babies are subject to immunization against these diseases in their first year. As an addition to the donation, a vaccine “Euvax B” against Hepatitis B, which is not approved for use in our country, has arrived and the Ministry of Health has announced that it has kept it in stock in case of increased refugee pressure. In exchange, Bulgaria undertook to donate to the Turkish side 5 million doses of vaccines against tuberculosis (BCG), produced in our country. The import of vaccines for the mandatory immunization calendar in our country became necessary due to systemic supply problems for production reasons, which worsened in the spring of last year. That’s how you get to the donation. The subject of the investigation, which began at the beginning of the year, was not whether the vaccines were dangerous to the life and health of children when administered, but questions related to the economic feasibility of their purchase and, accordingly, the prices related to the export of vaccines, the Attorney General said at the time Sotir Tsatsarov.
