"Prime Minister Kiril Petkov promised gas from America, which would be cheaper and would come regularly. Neither of the two has happened. Two tankers have arrived, but they are already used up." This is what Toshko Yordanov, chairman of the PG of There is Such a People told bTV.

"Germany, Italy, Greece are EU countries that are paying Russia for gas under one scheme without violating the EU sanctions. We wanted to do the same to get Russian gas at 32% down in price. The question is why we have come to this point. Why big European countries can benefit from such a scheme, and we can't," Yordanov said. . According to him, outgoing Prime Minister Kiril Petkov and Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev have been pressuring Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov to avoid such a scheme.
