There is a double standard in making a proposal to terminate the concession of Rosenets oil port, BSP floor leader Korneliya Ninova told journalists in the National Assembly on Wednesday.
Earlier, Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) co-chair Kiril Petkov said that the group will submit a proposal to terminate the concession of the Rosenets port. According to GERB leader Boyko Borissov, the proposal for Rosenets was made by GERB-UDF, Democratic Bulgaria (DB) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF). MRF’s Delyan Peevski specified that they had worked out the initiative together with GERB, DB immediately joined to support it and CC "were pondering".
Ninova pointed out that the proposal had not yet been submitted. She said that the BSP's principled position is that sites which are strategic for national security should be managed and operated by the state.
She said that the Constitution stipulates that such sites - waters, forests, beaches - are exclusively state property. Starting from the specific case, we say in principle that we are in favour of such sites being state property, but what we notice here is that a double standard is being applied, Ninova said. In her words, a proposal is being made to terminate the concession of Rosenets, but at the same time a concession of Plovdiv Airport and the extension of other concessions on the sea are being prepared. In Ninova’s view, this is unprincipled.
“We want the decision to be principled and to have a majority that says that the state wealth will be state property, to be exploited by the state,” Ninova said.
