Maya Manolova

Elections are the most important test for all politicians. This was stated by the mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova after journalists' review of the restoration work of the Bankya mineral bath building.

"We are currently running nominations in almost all parties, and the nominations are starting in GERB, and we will have results in September," she said.

I will run for Mayor of Sofia if the mockery with the citizens continues. This is what Ombudsman Maya Manolova told bTV.

Bulgaria's Ombudsman Maya Manolova said that a discussion will be held in her office on June 28 about the machine voting at the forthcoming local government elections, reports BNT. 

I think to run for mayor of Sofia. It will be a show. I've heard that Maya Manolova and Slavi Trifonov will participate. I'll do a good campaign. People in Lyulin recognize me very well because of the gas stations, revealed Veselin Mareshki.

"I still have no decision on whether to run for Sofia mayor," said Maya Manolova, the National Ombudsman of Bulgaria, to bTV. She said that the more people are keen on running for the place, the more she doesn't want to do it", but also the unceremonious attitude of the state towards the citizens motivates her in the opposite direction for candidacy.

Nurses gathered in front of the Metropolitan Tokuda Acibaden City Hospital to demand higher pay and better working conditions. The protesters spoke of pressure exerted by directors of private and state hospitals for their involvement in such manifestations of dissatisfaction.

Last public discussion on electricity and heating prices increase from July 1, this time with the participation of civilian organizations. Yesterday, the National ombudsman of Bulgaria Maya Manolova has requested from the KEVR (EWRC) the financial statements for the activities of the electricity distribution companies for 2018.

Maya Manolova has requested information from the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission under the Law on Access to Public Information (APIA) regarding the forthcoming increase in electricity prices as of July 1st, 2019.

The complicated situation in Iran and Venezuela and the high carbon prices that have an effect on all energy companies in our country are the reason for the appreciation of prices of the heating from July. This was explained by the Chairman of the Energy and Water Regulation Commission Ivan Ivanov. The price of electricity is consistent with annual inflation, Ivanov said.
