The reason is that no receives support in the Municipal Council from BSP, from whose quota Marinov is. The last example that Petkov gave was from yesterday’s meeting of the Municipal Council, at which for the second time the structure of the Municipality has not been accepted.

“This is my decision based on several consecutive City Council votes and the way on which we communicate with this group. Out of five municipal councilors, three voted “abstain” from the proposal for the structure of the municipal administration,” said the mayor.
Petkov recalled that in the run-off in the local elections, he was supported not only by the coalition that nominated him – PP “There is such a people” (PP “Bulgarian Rise”), but also by three other formations – BSP, PP-DB and the “Vazrazhdane” party “.
“Based on this support and the political agreements that we had done, all three formations have deputy mayors. Whatever weight this carries as governance and the segmented City Council, it can be seen that it is difficult to manage in this way.
The mayor of Lovech terminated an order for the construction of a separation plant for over BGN 7.7 million.
These political agreements lead to correctness on both sides. My commitments were to appoint deputy mayors and I did that. The treatment I am receiving from the BSP has led to this dismissal. I believe that when one side does not respect its commitments, the other should also respond in this way,” Petkov also stated.
In his words, not accepting the structure, interferes with the mayor’s vision of governance. “The structure is a management decision. Eng. Marinov is an expert and in my eyes continues to be one, but as of Monday we are parting ways,” added Stracimir Petkov.
