On cut revenue, the Varna Municipal Council requested BGN 1 million for the repair of its hall

The Chairman of the Municipal Council in Varna Hristo Dimitrov (« Alternative ») has submitted to the Standing Committee on Budget and Finance a proposal for repair for the hall, in which the Council is met, worth nearly BGN 1 million. The request has been submitted only a week after the former Budget Committee, the Demity Nominee Todor Balabanov (GERB). Earlier, with the votes of the same majority, which is an opposition to the mayor of the city, Blagomir Kotsev, the opportunities for receipts in the local budget were seriously restricted, and he himself is devoid of the opportunity to make it shifts to finance projects laid down in his management program.

The request for the repair of the meeting room of the Municipal Council Hristo Dimitrov was motivated by claiming that part of the seats in it were damaged, the lining on the walls did not have the necessary acoustic properties, and the « convex volumetric shapes on the two side walls reduced the space of passage ». The premises adapt to the existing fire safety requirements and accessibility of the environment was also needed.

Beyond the obvious absurdity

The Council to repair the hall for BGN 1 million, in which once a month they meet 50 people, until the money is even enough to fill the holes on the roads, I detect that this is another attempt to impose parallel policies at the expense of the people, « the mayor of Varna Kotsev wrote in the event of Dimitrov. PP-DB, with whom we worked for quick repairs in the urban environment, for roads and schools?

Since the beginning of this year, public transport in Varna has become free for students, students, retirees and people with disabilities. This decision imposed by the votes of GERB, the « Alternative », « Revival » and several other business formations in the Municipal Council costs the budget of BGN 14.5 million together with the free public transport cards and discounts for various social groups, imposed again by the same majority. Thus, Varna became the only municipality in Bulgaria with free transport for students, students, retirees and people with disabilities.

At the same time, the Council refused to finance the requested by Kotsev the creation of brigades for quick repairs, which needed BGN 625 thousand a year, including salaries of workers, machines and equipment.

“The Council obliges us to give municipal money for repairs, but fuss to accept

the fair lifting of fees

According to the Ordinance on local fees and services prices in Varna Municipality, which since 2012 has only been partially updated, the prices of the right to place construction materials and equipment on municipal land is BGN 2.60 per square meter. At the same time in Burgas this price is BGN 14, and in Sofia 39 BGN. For this reason Kotsev offered an update of the fees, but it was suspended by the regional governor Zhanna Georgieva (GERB).
