Borisov returned from Germany with an offer for a gunpowder, also explained the reactors
« I sent Rosen Zhelyazkov an extremely detailed offer for investment for a gunpowder, together with the German concern » Reinmetal « , said GERB leader Boyko Borisov on the sidelines of parliament. During his visit to Germany yesterday.
According to Borisov’s explanation, the offer provides for « Reinmetal » to have 51% in the joint venture and the Bulgarian state 49%. The investment for the construction was estimated at 420 million euros, and with the most favorable events, the plant could have been working within two years.
At the end of March, Armin Paperger was in Bulgaria, announcing that Reinmetal is looking for partners in the country to make a turnover of at least one billion euros a year turnover. « Bulgaria must become part of the European Defense Eco System. The industry here predisposes that it can become part of the major European conglomerates. This can be done, but it decides the government. In my opinion, it is ready to such an idea, » Paperger said at the time.

A few months before his visit, it was revealed that the government had prevented the implementation of a gunpowder and industrialist gunpowder Emilian Gebrev. According to Free Europe, this happened after a telephone call to the Council of Ministers by the former MRF co -chair, and today the leader of the MRF – a New Beginning Delyan Peevski.
On March 31, in an interview with BNR, Gebrev said that if Bulgaria did not want his plant in his territory, he would do it elsewhere. It was mysterious that Trojan horses prevent the country’s defense sector from being light years ahead. Gebrev pointed out that the whole investment would have been at his own expense.

Today, Borisov tried to explain another surprisingly economic solution these days – to stop the sale of Parliament’s sale of Belene NPP reactors of Ukraine. The BSP leader, which is part of the ruling coalition and Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Zafirov, announced the news yesterday.
With Trump, Musk and Microsoft we can do something
The reactors of Belene NPP will not be sold to Ukraine at this time because there has been an opportunity to build a huge data center in Bulgaria that will need a lot of electricity.
« They connected and came some of the top 3 of the world funds, I will not say which ones, but they have a great interest in making huge datar centers in Bulgaria, » Borisov explained. He added that if this happens, they will need a minimum of 1 GB or 1000 megawatt direct current continuously.
With the suspended sale of the Belene NPP reactors, the BSP tried to hide that it did not shy away from Peevski’s support
« Because this imagine it a whole field, thousands of decares with computers that work on max. We need 2 things – DC that can only give nuclear reactors and a large river, a reservoir – for cooling. Kozloduy NPPs are both in the now 7 and 8 Westing technology and we have 2 pure Bulgarian yokes Arbitration in Paris, « Borisov said.
According to him, potential investors advised him to wait for the sale of the reactors. « If we, with the biggest American funds, build, along with Westinghouse, such data centers, and these reactors to work only for them – I do not know if we should give them for BGN 1 billion. Something that will bring tens of billions of levs, » Borisov more.
He expressed the opinion that the country was losing nothing if it waited. « We have the option to sell them. We haven’t sold them for 10 years – we can do it next month, tomorrow … But until then I want President Trump, with Musk, with Microsoft, Bill Gates … If we can do this thing – I don’t believe there is a Bulgarian who wants the most powerful artificial intelligence.
The Minister of Energy can start negotiations with Ukraine for the Belene NPP equipment
He specified that with the decision on the reactors, he does not play with Moscow, but wants to do something with America and England. However, the final decision on the fate of the reactors should be on parliament, which in July 2023 has already commissioned the Ministry of Energy to negotiate their sale to Ukraine.
