In Sofia, another very tall building is being prepared in a green area, and this time the Student Park in the capital area of ​​the same name is under threat. Blogger Boyan Yurukov, who has been following for years what kind of urban planning orders, planning visas and construction permits sent by the “Architecture and Urban Planning” Department of the Metropolitan City raises the alarm about this.

Yurukov, opposite the famous center “Joy Station” at one of the entrances to the “Studentski” park on “Akad.Stefan Mladenov” street, announced that a planning visa was issued for a 56-meter building (co -at least 16 floors), and at this height you will not enter the loft floor. The visa was signed in May 2022 by former chief architect Sofia Zdravko Zdravkov. Shortly before leaving office, in July of this year Zdravkov issues an urban planning order that allows the development of a work project for the development of the land under the skyscraper in the future.

There are two of them, they are private and have a total area of ​​almost 3 decares. According to the cadastral map, the largest one with a size of 2.5 decares is intended “for another type of development”, and the smallest one is “for low construction”. In the visa, however, Zdravkov says that according to the General Plan of Sofia, the buildings fall into the zone of designation “Mixed Activity Zone”, in which there is no upper threshold for the height of buildings. In this area, the maximum permitted development is 60 percent of the building with a maximum intensity of 3.5, and the mandatory landscape is 40 percent. However, for the largest building, Zdravkov says that he takes advantage of an article in the Zoning Act that allows him to allow a building density of 81% and an intensity of 12.

In November of the company “IV PROVISION” EOOD with the manager Ivaylo Panev, who owns the land, submits a project for the development of a working form plan for the development. After a series of clarifications in July, Zdravkov approved the design of a mixed-use building with a shop floor, 15 residential and office floors and lofts in the larger plot and a second block of shops and 5 floors in the smaller one. In the future building at the entrance to the “Students” park, it is planned to build an underground parking lot on 4 levels.

This is another construction project in Sofia, which clearly and categorically shows that there are countless loopholes and irregularities in the rules related to the development of the capital. The last similar case was another permit given by Zdravko Zdravkov for the demolition of the historical building of the old bathhouse on “Sitnyakovo” Blvd and for the construction of a high-rise block in its place. The idea sparked protests from residents of three districts of the capital. On June 13, Zdravkov issued a municipal planning order that allowed the demolition of the old bath house and the construction of a 16-story building with a height of 50 m of the SMF, although the other blocks are around up to 4- 5 floors. Civil protests have stopped this project for now.

The PP-DB seems to believe that they contributed to the crisis and the split of the DPS. This was discovered from an interview with the vice-president of the right wing union Daniel Laurer with bTV.

He said that he does not believe that there is good and bad in politics. “The more we turn to personal struggle – the ‘Peevski model’, the ‘Dogan model’, the ‘Borisov model’, the more we identify them with some people, the harder it is to work with the parties they represent. Laurer believes. He therefore suggested that the right-wing parties would continue to consider cooperation opportunities with DPS and GERB-SDS.

The MP directly said that one of the reasons for the split of the DPS was “our presence (PP-DB – note ed.) on the political field”, because this presence changed the political reality of the country. The tandem between GERB and DPS ended. This tension in the political model created a very high tension between its elements, and in the end something broke,” explained the former minister Laurer vaguely.

The right-wing politician also announced that PP-DB pressure made the prosecutor’s office “move in the right direction”. He believes that the interim chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov “is forced to think about the following from now on for Bulgaria – should he serve the Bulgarian society or his political masters”.

Later, on the sidelines of the parliament, the chairman of the DPS, Delyan Peevski, brought up his favorite topic, “Mr. Cash”, as he calls the president Rumen Radev recently.

In front of journalists, Peevski presented a photo of Alexander Neychev – former deputy mayor of Nedelino and a close associate of BSP leader Kornelia Ninova, whom he described as “Mr. Cash’s financier”. Peevski accused him of putting pressure on the candidate for the interim prime minister, Gorica Kozhareva, and suggested that the reporters investigate “whether the prime minister-candidate has the will or is under Radev’s personal control.”

Peevski appointed Neychev as the “secret financier, besides Nikolay Koprinkov, who collects Rumen Radev’s bribes, blackmails, collects, hacks”, as he put it. “This country has a fake president who is currently unconstitutionally trying to install a government,” said the DPS chairman.

At times hearing yesterday about the former banker Tsvetan Vassilevwhich he linked to former inspector Petyo Petrov-Euroto, Peevski said: “The pro-Russian proxies who attacked me are over. Moscow will not be responsible for Bulgaria.”

A little later, the MPs from DPS-Dogan also gave a briefing. They also mentioned the hearing of Tsvetan Vassilev to ask the prosecutor’s office in absentia not to bring charges against their rival Peevski. The people of Dogan described the KTB affair as “a symbol of the abuse of power, liberation and consolidation of political and economic power in the hands of a few”. But they refused to comment on the movement’s role in this story, even though Peevski belonged to the DPS even then.

Yesterday, the honorable leader of the DPS Ahmed Dogan gathered a small group of representatives for a meeting – Mario Rangelov, who is a member of the Central Executive Bureau of the party, Pavlin Krastev, Dimitar Nikolov and Husni Adem. This was announced by the press center of the movement. All four belong to his group.

The DPS is not saying anything about the purpose of the meeting. The press release published on Facebook pours only the traditional flattery towards Dogan: “Dr. Ahmed Dogan who founded DPS and embodies and expresses the eternal values ​​and strategic goals of the party and each person, that is to be free and to have. rights! No turning back!

At the same time, the supporters of the honorable leader continue their tour around the country, which they started from Kardzhali. In places, they hold meetings with the participation of representatives, mayors, city councilors and leaders of party organizations, to unite their ranks in the internal battle against the president of the DPS Delyan Peevski .

In Dulovo, the mayor of the town, Nevhis Mustafa, complained to them about pressure from state institutions. “There is no ethnic tension in the DPS, and we will not allow it to exist. Free yourself from fear,” he urged the mayor of Dulovo.

“DPS has it and will continue to have it. I feel your energy.” This was said by another chairman of the party, Jvdet Chakarov, at a meeting with members and sympathizers of DPS from Varna and Dobrica regions. Interestingly, according to him, DPS without Peevski is an expected and sought-after partner. “The party must take matters into its own hands as a collective body, with its organs, and overcome this situation,” Chakarov announced about the internal conflict.

In Burgas, he described the DPS as a “bouquet of ethnicities”. “The political image of the DPS and the Euro-Atlantic path of Bulgaria cannot be changed,” said the party chairman.
