MP Ramadan Atalay: Peevski wants to take control of electricity distribution companies

The problems with electricity supply during the Christmas and New Year holidays are the result of neglect of the electricity grid and the lack of control by the Ministry of Energy. This opinion was expressed to the Bulgarian National Radio by Ramadan Atalay, an MP from "Democracy Rights and Freedoms - DPS". 
Atalay stressed that inspections for the winter preparation of the electricity grid should be carried out before the season, and not after the snow falls. 


According to the MP, the leader of the "Movement for Rights and Freedoms - New Beginning", who was sanctioned for corruption under the Magnitsky Act, Delyan Peevski, wants to take over the electricity distribution companies in Bulgaria.

"There are only a few enterprises left that he has no control over. The first thing that has been heard lately is that we should nationalize them, and what will happen next - we will privatize them again. And who will privatize them - it is now clear what this is about. Lately, when Peevski starts to interfere in a sector, unpredictable things happen there," Atalay pointed out.
