Reasons for firing Bulgaria s Interior Ministry chief included police violence

The reasons cited for the dismissal for Bulgarian Interior Ministry chief secretary Ivailo Ivanov included police violence during the anti-government protests in summer 2020. Acting on the recommendation of the caretaker government, Bulgarian President Roumen Radev dismissed Ivanov on May 14 from the post that he had held since December 2018. The police violence was cited in the caretaker government’s document recommending that Ivanov be fired. The document said that Ivanov had violated the basic principles of work in the Interior Ministry, through disrespect for and failure to guarantee the rights and freedoms of citizens and their dignity. During the protests, organisational and tactical mistakes had been made, according to the document.

Bulgaria agrees to postpone annual concession fees for Sofia Airport

Bulgaria’s Transport Minister Rossen Zhelyazkov signed on April 9 an annex to the concession contract for Sofia Airport, which granted operator Sof Connect a postponement on the payment of annual concession fees for the first 10 years of the contract. In a statement, Zhelyazkov said that the annex was meant to “restore the economic balance of the concession, disrupted by Covid-19, the balance between the benefits and risks undertaken by the two sides.” The proposed annex to the concession contract, made public earlier this week, drew opposition from several parties and coalitions set to enter the next National Assembly after the April 4 elections.
