On Monday, the three parliamentary groups supporting the government agreed that GERB-SDS and MRF would cancel the proposal to immediately end Lukoil’s derogation for import of Russian oil, if the refinery in Burgas paid nearly 750 million euros to the state budget.
On Tuesday, "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) said they were against holding an extraordinary session of the parliament on Friday to discuss President Rumen Radev's veto on the changes to the Energy Act. The reason is that two days before the local vote, the parliament could be used for pre-election campaigns. According to Delyan Dobrev from GERB-SDS, this shows that "Lukoil" was financing politicians and parliamentary groups, while it earns 1.5 million euros each day from the derogation.
