Miners, energy workers, trade unionists and MPs have demanded full clarity on the future of the Maritsa-East coal mining complex. The most significant issue in the Stara Zagora region - coal production - was discussed at a forum initiated by "Podkrepa" trade union and organized by the Municipality of Stara Zagora. The forum was not attended by the Minister of Energy Rumen Radev, BNR - Stara Zagora reported. Those present were adamant that so far nothing has been done to implement the decision of the National Assembly of January 12 to renegotiate with the EC the commitment to a 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2026, laid down in the Recovery and Sustainability Plan.
The president of "Podkrepa" Dimitar Manolov pointed out that the unions will continue the fight for the future of the complex and the workers. According to those present, the closure of coal production would affect over 100,000 people. Once again, the issue of the country's lack of an energy strategy was also raised.
