Diana Kovacheva

As President Rumen Radev continues his quest to appoint an acting prime minister, Bulgaria encounters obstacles as potential candidates refuse the offer. Ombudsman Diana Kovacheva and Deputy Governor of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) Petar Chobanov are the latest to decline, complicating the country's political landscape.

The ombudswoman Diana Kovacheva sent a letter to the chairman of the capital municipal council, Georgi Georgiev, and to the capital mayor, Yordanka Fandakova, in which she warned about a large number of complaints related to the changed conditions for travel in public transport, which have been in force since January 1.

Ombudsman Diana Kovacheva said on Thursday that she is concerned by the information she has received from struggling households and called on Bulgaria's interim government to focus on swift action to financially support domestic customers of natural gas and companies using gas to heat residential buildings.

Centers for work with people at risk are about to close due to unaffordable electricity and gas bills.

The ombudsman Diana Kovacheva warned in a letter to state institutions that more than 24 non-governmental organizations, providers of social services, are seeking assistance because they cannot cover their costs for electricity, natural gas and salaries.

"The footage we saw was shocking," Diana Kovacheva said

Over 100% overcrowding of unaccompanied refugee children in the Refugee Center "Military Ramp".

Bulgaria's Ombudsperson Diana Kovacheva referred to caretaker Health Minister Dr. Stoycho Katsarov, the European Ombudsman and the EC the issue with Covid certificates denied to over 100,000 Bulgarians, the institution reported.

Bulgarian ombudsman Diana Kovacheva sent a letter to the National Assembly, reminding the deputies that there are important issues within their competence that need to be resolved urgently.

By 2023, the title owner of an already sold car will be able to request a certificate from the Traffic Police that the property has been transferred.

Bulgarian Deputies finally passed amendments to the Roads Act, which aim to protect used car sellers from being charged with crimes committed by the new owner, who did not transfer the car to his name.

An 85-year-old Bulgarian man has been sentenced to 27 years in prison and a €53,000 fine for trafficking migrants into Greece. The absurdity of this case is that the man never set foot in our southern neighbor. The man was accused of transporting refugees in a truck he bought in Sweden.
