The current subcommittee for control of European funds will become a committee, GERB party leader Boyko Borissov said in parliament. Together with MRF, they want the future parliamentary committee to discuss everything related to the territorial plans proposed by the government for a just transition of the coal-mining regions.
Borissov has discussed the issue with Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov and with co-chairman of “We Continue the Change”, Kiril Petkov, after MPs expressed concern that companies close to the PP-DB coalition would benefit from 1.5 billion euros of funds without participating in tenders.
"Once again, incompetence is on display. Once again, GERB is swayed by the rhetoric of 'Vazrazhdane', which is against investments in these regions that would preserve people's jobs. Companies have shared their investment intentions, but this in no way makes them beneficiaries under the territorial plans," MP of the PP-DB coalition, Radoslav Ribarski, commented.
