It's strange, but of course, there is logic - economic interests have been violated. Because we stopped the public procurement for the guardrails for one billion. We said: No, we will not work this way. In fact, we have already started working not with these companies. Ivan Shishkov rejected the accusations and stated that, in his opinion, the reaction of DPS is dictated by affected financial interests. #мантинели #общественипоръчки #политическитескандали (translated)

Rumen Radev stated that Bulgaria supports any coalition aimed at quickly ending the Russian war against Ukraine through diplomacy. He pointed out that the country has not severed diplomatic relations with Russia and that a few days ago he invited the Russian ambassador for talks to halt strikes against ships in the Black Sea. According to Radev, this communication channel should be expanded with specific measures and proposals. Radev said that Bulgaria participates in the anti-mine group in the Black Sea and was among the first countries to join the "European Sky Shield" initiative after it was announced by Germany in 2022. He condemned the attacks on civilian and commercial vessels as unacceptable and proposed a moratorium on military strikes against shipping in the Black Sea, stating that he expects support from EU partners. He noted that the sea is an important corridor for the delivery of food, fertilizers, and energy resources, upon which millions of people rely, especially in vulnerable regions of Africa and the Middle East. According to Radev, the "Chelsea 3" vessel was supposed to be towed the same afternoon to the port of Burgas for repairs and checks for drone remnants. He stated that Bulgaria has hypotheses regarding the perpetrator of the attack, but clear and solid evidence is needed before a specific country is blamed. Radev stated that he does not support military strikes on refineries and energy facilities in Ukraine and Russia, as he believes they directly affect fuel prices and the competitiveness of the EU. He pointed out that over the last two decades, Europe has shut down a number of refineries and is now dependent on imports of finished fuels, particularly diesel and aviation fuel. According to him, the shortage of aviation fuel in Europe has led to the doubling of its price within a few months. He said that Bulgaria supports the construction of new energy corridors between Europe and the Middle East to ensure reliable supplies at competitive prices. Regarding the new Multiannual Financial Framework of the EU, Radev said that Bulgaria supports efforts to enhance the competitiveness of European economies. He added that this should not be at the expense of EU policies for social and economic convergence and the Common Agricultural Policy. #ЧерноМоре (translated)

The accusations from the opposition asserting that the defensive potential of our country has not been strengthened are largely due to the previous ruling parties. There is no conclusive evidence that Russia has attacked ships in the Black Sea with drones. Before the investigations are established and it is determined where the drones come from, one cannot conclude that they are from Russia. The logic is that they should be from the Russian Federation, but they could also be from a third country. Dmitry Petrov called for no tension to be created among the people. #Русия #ЧерноМоре #ДимитърПетров (translated)
