/ world today news/ Economist Vladimir Karolev will have to leave 7 commercial companies within the next 30 days.
The reason – Karolev has agreed to become an adviser to the Minister of Economy Bozhidar Lukarski. Karolev himself announced this to BNT. A reference in the Commercial Register shows that Vladimir Karolev has shares in active companies with a subject of activity – consulting and financial services, production, trade and provision of tourist services.
As an adviser in the political cabinet of the Minister of Economy, Karolev has no right to have shares in companies, as this would be a violation and a conflict of interest. In return for his refusal of private business, Karolev will receive a little over BGN 1,000 per month as a salary. The economist has already announced that he will donate his remuneration from a ministry.
In March 2014, with a letter to the Registration Agency, the private bailiff Georgi Tsekleov imposed a lien on the company share that Vladimir Karolev owns in “3 Mountains” OOD. The seizure is due to a debt to a bank in the amount of BGN 1,740,000. It is not clear from the company registers that the loan has been repaid.
Karolev enters politics in the management of NDSV and DPS. For a short time he was a municipal councilor in Sofia from the “tsarist” party. In 2007, Vladimir Karolev was announced as an associate of the former State Security.
At the beginning of the week, Bozhidar Lukarski, for whom there are doubts about his competence to hold the post of Minister of Economy, acquired two deputy ministers. From the biographies of Daniela Vezieva and Lyuben Petrov, it became clear that they were appointed mainly because of their party affiliation to the DBG and SDS.
The Ministry of Economy, led by the party cadres of the SDS, DBG and NDSV, will have to negotiate with the European Commission in the coming months the new operational program “Competitiveness”, according to which Bulgaria should receive nearly BGN 2.5 billion in the next seven years.
