Kiril Petkov exposed by Minister Vezieva for the empty dam

GERB received a written answer with graphics for the dam

CIS data lead to serious suspicions that water was released to shoot the video

The level decreases in hours for only 3 days

Former Minister of Economy Daniela Vezieva has denied current Prime Minister Kiril Petkov about the empty Pazar Dere Dam near Lovech, which has long been used as a stronghold by the new government that GERB wasted money on unnecessary repairs.

This became clear from a written response dated December 13, 2021 by Vezieva to Desislava Atanasova, chairwoman of the GERB General Assembly. Asked about the water level in Pazar Dere Dam from May 31 to June 3 last year, the Minister of the Second caretaker government of President Rumen Radev refuted Petkov for his version of poor repairs from the time of GERB and provided data and photos from the control and measuring system (CIS) built on the dam.

As can be seen from the graph, in just three days “Pazar Dere” turned out to be “at the bottom”, which makes it very convenient for shooting apocalyptic shots with the empty dam.

On July 14, at a time when Petkov is still caretaker Minister of Economy, he loudly announced in a video that the GERB government had repaired empty dams. Even then, experts warned that Petkov’s noisy public appearance was full of untruths, but would be part of an election campaign in preparation.

However, it is clear from Minister Vezieva’s response to GERB that before the video the dam was full. And the data from the CIS lead to serious doubts that “Pazar Dere” was probably omitted in order to make the video. The graphs and photos from the control and measuring system show that Pazar Dere Dam was full on May 31, after which the level began to fall and on June 3 it was completely released. This is evidenced by satellite images published later on social networks.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov and party deputies showed a report received from Kiril Petkov’s successor in the second caretaker government in 2021.

The official response of the caretaker Minister Vezieva is published on the website of the National Assembly, from where everyone can find out about the facts about Pazar Dere.

Specialists sought by Trud are adamant that the data from the built electronic measuring system are real in minutes and the release of the dam is clearly visible. The information presented by the Ministry of Economy is also graphically represented.

Kiril Petkov’s video was distributed by the same agency that was then in charge of him. GERB immediately raised the issue of the danger of deliberate draining of the dam and noted that all costs for the repair of the facility have passed through an expert council.

Camera! It works!

The stage is prepared with Hollywood precision

Only a few days before the shooting of the video on June 12, “Pazar Dere” looks like a small desert, but on May 31, 2021 the dam was full, according to a report from the control and measuring system.

Hollywood precision, but also a nightmarish idea can be seen from the information provided. The answer signed by the former Minister of Economy Daniela Vezieva shows that in the early afternoon of May 31, 2021, at exactly 13.53 minutes, the dam is full of water and the difference to the level of dead volume is 1.54 m.

From that moment the level began to decrease, and at 23.59 hours the difference to the level of dead volume was 1.20 m or 34 cm difference.

However, on the morning of July 1, 2021, at 6.00 am, the difference with the level of dead volume is 1.01 m, and at noon at 12 noon it is already 0.80 cm. Five minutes before midnight on July 1, the difference with the level of dead volume is 0.36 cm.

At 7.00 am on July 2, 2021, the dam was practically empty, which created the conditions for a few days later to shoot the video by Kiril Petkov. Even more strange is that in early June it was cold, there were days with rain, and maximum temperatures were up to 20-21 degrees.

Kiril Petkov presents video material for Pazar Dere Dam

The only thing that this dam (Pazar Dere River) for BGN 2,350,000 has managed to preserve is this puddle. We see that there is also a facility that measures the depth of the puddle. We notice a device with a Cola-Cola bottle on it, which is electrically connected. I don’t know if, as a technology, the Cola-Cola bottle is the best way for this type of equipment, but it is obvious to me that when the state spends BGN 2,300,000, I hope the equipment will look better than that. This was explained in a video by the caretaker Minister of Economy Kiril Petkov.

GERB: The dam was deliberately released

Perhaps the screenwriters of the film “Pazar Dere” forgot that there is a modern control and measurement system that filmed everything and the visit of Minister Petkov is in a period after which the ministry he manages dropped the dam and it is empty to to make this “report”. This was stated to BTV by the former Minister of Economy Lachezar Borisov. He added that the Public Procurement Law has been complied with and this can be verified. “A photo from May 31 shows that the dam is full. Immediately after that, you can see how its level drops sharply, ie it was dropped deliberately “, explained Lachezar Borisov. The former Minister of Economy explained that in 2013-2014 this dam was identified as one of the most dangerous because 5 meters from it is the highway connecting Sofia and Varna. “Dere Market is filling up in seconds and has overflowed six times since mid-January,” he added.

“The prices that Petkov is targeting are all the activities carried out for the laying, transfer and construction of these facilities by the companies performing the repairs,” Borissov added.

Inflation in industry carries the risk of bankruptcy

Expenditure record for the month – over 9 billion unexplained expenses

Every lev withdrawn is paid by the next generations

In one month, Kiril Petkov’s government has spent a record BGN 9 billion.

From May 2020, fuel prices are constantly increasing.

Prices are skyrocketing, and experts warn that double-digit inflation will lead to mass bankruptcies.

“The change has led to over BGN 9 billion in unexplained expenses in the last month, and Kiril Petkov’s government owes an explanation for what they were spent on.” This was stated by Alexander Ivanov from GERB during the first press conference at the party’s headquarters. “Every lev withdrawn by the state is paid by the next generations. We have a negative record in the state deficit and poor planning of state funds, “said Alexander Ivanov.

“Measures on the topic of inflation are missing. If there were any and they were working, we would be the first to praise them. There aren’t even any ineffective measures, and that’s perhaps the most worrying thing. Unfortunately, there is no prospect of things changing, “said on this occasion the municipal councilor from GERB in SOS – financier Dimitar Vuchev. GERB took stock that such a sum has never been spent in the history of the country for 1 month.

The opposition noted that within December our country has a deficit of BGN 4 billion, which are the actual debts taken by the caretaker government. The funds spent are 2 times more than the expenses in December 2017 and almost 40% more than the funds spent in 2018 and 2019.

The taxpayer’s money has been 16% higher since December 2020, when people had to be helped the most since the crisis began. During the press conference it became clear that the inflation that directly affects the industry is huge and the annual growth of industrial prices in November is 30%. In the energy sector, the average price increase is 70.5% on an annual basis. All this, along with the inadequate measures that will be proposed, will lead to bankruptcies of companies, GERB stressed. And they warned that inflation in industry is 4 times higher than that of consumer goods, which means either rapid bankruptcies of companies or even faster rise in consumer goods.
