EKIP– Expert Club for Economics and Politics A Different Opinion
In the second episode of "60 Minutes Freedom", the founder of the Bulgarian Libertarian Society and EQUIP Stoyan Panchev, together with editor-in-chief Georgi Vuldjev and political expert Kaloyan Pravov, focus entirely on the scandal surrounding the sale of the Bulgarian assets of the Czech energy company CEZ.
In the episode you will hear:
- What is the story so far and what caused the current scandal?
- Who is Ginka Varbakova and what is the history of her company "Inerkom"? What information is there about possible "hidden" interests that are using her as a front to acquire the assets of CEZ?
- Were the resignation of the Minister of Energy and the subsequent statements by Prime Minister Borissov adequate? Why were so many contradictory positions heard on the case and why does the Prime Minister seem panicked by the situation?
- Is Borisov's decision to try to change the law to prevent a deal between CEZ and Inercom for sale correct, and how might the entire scandal affect the investment environment in the country?
- What are the problems in the Bulgarian energy sector that make the outbreak of such scandals possible? How can these problems be resolved?
