Burgas

Yesterday, the Lebanese said that he almost became a sponsor of the Municipality, but the director of TD “Zora” Stefan Dubarov (right) pulls out a black and white refutation report

The case full of absurdities with the emblematic “Mushroom” cafe at the entrance to the Sea Garden in Burgas acquires new and increasingly mind-blowing dimensions after a few days ago, Flagman published a statement by a local merchant, shocked by the behavior of the previous long-term tenant of the municipal site, Rauf Sabag. The man threatened to set up a similar object on “Atanas Sirekov” square – without a contract and all the other requisites needed to be a decent trader according to laws and regulations. Offended by the idea, which is actually a form of civil disobedience and protest, Rauf Sabagh submitted a written right of reply to the editorial office. Here is his truth, we quote him without editorial and proofreading intervention:

A merchant from Burgas threatened to set up a new “Mushroom”… on Atanas Sirekov Sq.

“As manager of DI-M GROUP Ltd. andI inform you that our company continues to pay the rent for the “Mushroom” coffee shop, the tables and the refrigerators. Until now, we have not harmed the municipality of Burgas in any way. As the owner of the “Mushroom” cafe, with a Building Permit of 1992 and an Act of Legalization by the NINKN, I believe that our contractual relations with the Municipality of Burgas cannot be terminated in accordance with Article 56. Cafe “Mushroom” patronizes Stanovishta that it is not a movable object.

Our company complies with the law and the regulations of the municipality of Burgas and to this day no auction or competition was organized regarding this position. The self-proclaimed “new” tenant with illegal methods and dirty performances, by selling an apartment to the daughter of the director of TD “Zora” at a symbolic price, neither makes him a new tenant nor the owner of the “Mushroom”.

Until 10.01.2023, the municipality of Burgas categorically presented itself as the owner of the “Mushroom” and did not allow us to undertake repair works, as it was part of the cultural monuments”.

How true are Sabag’s claims, though? The “Mushroom” site continues to operate even after its contract expired on February 28, but now with another company at the head – “Ward Baby” EOOD, which is the sole property of one Doncho Pirev from Dolno Ezerovo district. She set up on her own without a permit from the Municipality, opened the site, placed refrigerated display cases and dozens of tables along the alleys of this historic part of the Sea Garden, worked without any expense (SEE THE ARTICLE ABOVE). Why Sabag pays rent to the Municipality through his company “DI-M GROUP” OOD remains a mystery. It is another matter that he himself is at the turnover object from morning to night, he opens it and he closes it. Here is what the director of TD “Zora” Stefan Dubarov says:

While the municipal councilors are thinking, “Ward Baby” settled in the iconic Mushroom of Burgas

The “mushroom” is a movable object within the meaning of the Ordinance on movable objects. For 12 years, the manager of the cafe in question came to me to issue a permit under Art. 56 of the ZUT. For so many years he used the permit for the movable object. It has a permit for placing tables as well as positions for placing refrigerated display cases. I categorically say that the permit for this pavilion was valid until February 28, 2023. At the moment, there is no such permit, and accordingly the manager has no basis for payment to the Municipality, because it is carried out on the basis of the issued permit and is paid at the cash desk of TD “Zora”. What’s more – after you asked me the question, we checked whether there were any such payments. I got the result a few minutes ago. In the program product “ASTAR” there is no data that such payments have been made. The last one was made on March 7 of this year. and is worth BGN 30 for the examination of the documents before the Committee on Moveable Objects, in which I participated. The last payments for storefronts were on February 15, when the site still had a permit,” he said Stefan Dubarov.

Dubarov once again called on the Lebanese to take back the “Mushroom” building, because it may be his, but the Municipality wants this person to vacate its own land below. For the Mushroom itself, as a construction, there is a wonderful new project ready, presented by the company that won the tender on January 3 of this year, but cannot take possession, as the procedure is being appealed in court. We add at this point that the “Mushroom” in its old decrepit form is also currently operating for no reason – with refrigerated display cases, tables, chairs, umbrellas spread around. And with the total powerlessness of the institutions responsible for this, the NRA, Prosecutor’s Office, BABH and so on, which have left the Municipality of Burgas alone to deal with the “phenomenal” businessman Rauf Sabag.

The attacks related to the personal and family life of the director of TD “Zora”, distributed in the public space by Sabag, have been reported to the competent authorities. Dubarov defines them as slander.
