Iliya Prodanov: The longer we tolerate Tanya Georgieva, the extra injury we are going to do to the sector
20 organizations approve the knowledgeable work of Tanya Georgieva and are towards the requested resignation
It has been like this for years in our nation. Everybody on the high of the pyramid is somebody’s particular person.
We’re a pitiful lot
and due to this fact we can not transfer from the quagmire the place we have now been thrust. It is like that in every single place within the nation. When somebody needs to work for the advantage of the individuals, they begin pelting him with stones to surrender. When he takes care of the pursuits of his individuals, they defend him like militiamen. When it isn’t doing something, it is comfy.
Within the particular case of the requested resignation of Tanya Georgieva, there are a number of questions that we can not assist however ask.
When NAZ comes out with an official opinion, they accomplish that as a result of they’ve beforehand selected it on the Administration Board. The presidents of the regional organizations, that are already over 20, take part within the Board. The regional organizations have mentioned the proposal with their Boards and their presidents vote in accordance with the grassroots choice by area.
That’s, right here we have now a corporation constructed on a democratic precept and performing in accordance with the choices of its members. There is no such thing as a different such regulation in Bulgaria, however there might be if there have been a Regulation on department organizations and on the nationwide chamber.
(Sadly, the ministers of agriculture from 1990 till now are indebted to the farmers, as a result of as an alternative of serving to them by regulation to ascertain a nationwide agrarian chamber with chairpersons and governing our bodies elected by themselves, they most popular the state to be stronger than organized farmers. And to steer them by the nostril in the whole lot.)
On the opposite aspect
we have now 20 organizations which have made the choice to help Tanya Georgieva with one telephone name.
As a result of there isn’t any manner this lightning response may occur in any other case.
The press launch to the media within the 20s was despatched by the publish workplace of the Affiliation of Agricultural Producers in Bulgaria (AZPB), the place Georgieva was the chief director for a few years.
If we take a look at the substance of the explanations with which the 20 defend their Deputy Minister, they’re, as they are saying, sucked from the fingers and mud within the eyes of the blind.
The proposal of the department organizations to extend the finances of the sub-measure for irrigation was authorised by the Monitoring Committee, which might be chaired by Tanya Georgieva, writes AZPB. The place is the explanation for applause for the deputy minister that we do not see him?
Tanya Georgieva is on the backside of the elevated finances of sub-measure 4.1, which can quickly be opened up particularly for irrigation-related tasks, the protection claims. Normally, nonetheless, the rise within the budgets takes place on the proposal of the DF “Agriculture” and occurs when the fund finds that there are unspent funds. That is the order.
NAZ rightly protest that
the opening of sub-measure 4.1 for irrigation programs is screwed up,
as a result of though the irrigated areas within the nation are too few, the rules state that this measure doesn’t finance tasks to extend irrigated land. The BGN 100 million finances is just for tasks that modernize irrigation services. For instance, to construct photovoltaics to produce present for the prevailing irrigation system.
One other argument with which Tanya Georgieva defends herself is that because of her the processing sub-measure 4.2 was opened.
Nonetheless, there was one thing very unusual in regards to the opening of this sub-measure.
The rules for it weren’t revealed upfront, as occurs with all sub-measures, on the web page of the Ministry of Well being.
3 times we seemed for them within the sections meant for the publication of draft tips and draft order of the minister on the event of the upcoming opening of a measure beneath the PRDP. They have been gone! And actually, they have been revealed in some hidden “pocket” on the web site of the ministry.
Which means some consultants had a head begin within the preparation of the appliance for sub-measure 4.2.
The opening was on July 11, then the ready-made tips appeared on the ministry’s web site. That was an outrage! As a result of right here the investments are large – the utmost for one venture is BGN 1,360,000.
So this very instance in protection of the Deputy Minister is in no way applicable.
„Because of Tanya Georgieva, the long-awaited admissions to the Nationwide Academy of Medical Sciences have additionally began. In the mean time, practically 1,600 tasks have been authorised beneath the NPVU, which eloquently speaks of success“, says the letter of the AZPB.
Nicely, that is simply not the case.
Ministers from earlier governments additionally labored beneath these procedures.
And it will possibly’t be in any other case, as a result of the situations for making use of for each procedures have been revealed for public dialogue on the Ministry of Well being web site on July 25, 2023, and Tanya Georgieva was appointed to this publish solely a month earlier. As well as, the process “Facilities for preparation for advertising and marketing and storage of vegetables and fruit” appears to have been primarily labored by the earlier Deputy Minister Alexander Yotsev.
Lastly, to illustrate that when somebody is appointed to a job – whether or not as a cleaner, an knowledgeable or a deputy minister, he’s anticipated to work correctly for everybody, not for his personal individuals. As a result of if Mrs. Georgieva had labored expertly and devotedly for all of the farmers who apply this troublesome career, nobody would have requested her to resign. And nobody would write off as her deserves the truth that she did one thing for which she acquired a substantial wage.
