120,000 people employed in coal-fired power plants are at risk of losing their jobs and are facing emigration, warn experts from the Podkrepa Confederation of Labour. Regarding the Green Deal, trade unionists exchanged experience with their counterparts from other EU countries and the Western Balkans.
According to Veselin Mitov, International Secretary of the Podkrepa Confederation of Labor, Romanian miners from Baia Mare are facing the same problem. Mitov pointed out that during the cold days of January, up to 40% of the electricity consumed in Bulgaria was imported, mainly from non-EU countries, because the electricity there is cheaper, and no charges for so-called harmful emissions are applied. According to the experts from "Podkrepa", the key issue is how the Green Deal will be implemented and within what timeframe the thermal power plants in Bulgaria will be closed.
