The texts envisage postponing the liberalization of the electricity market for domestic consumers by one year.

A vote is taken before that item included today – Decision to provide funds to “Mini Maritsa Iztok” EAD for the period 2024 – 2029. in order to ensure technical reclamation activities of the disturbed areas of the “East Marishka Coal Basin” deposit. The report of the Energy Commission was read by Delyan Dobrev.

The BSP defined the premature closure of the Marishka Basin and our coal power as a greater betrayal than the closure of the units of the Kozloduy NPP.

“Vazrazhdane”, on the other hand, asked for certain editorial changes to be made in the draft decision.

GERB asked to extend the working hours today until the adoption of the changes in the Law on Higher Education. It was accepted.

Stoynev from the BSP proposed to drop from the agenda the draft decision to support the updated Roadmap for climate neutrality of the Republic of Bulgaria proposed by the Council of Ministers. It was accepted. A re-vote was requested. It was accepted again.

Chorbanov, a member of parliament, expressed doubt that this bill went with the change of leadership of Maritsa Iztok.

Radostin Vasilev stated that among the importers today he saw the name of Temenuzka Petkova, who was involved in a mess in the energy sector. She told him it wasn’t. Vassilev stated that Petkova’s son lived in Switzerland and became an energy boss with photovoltaics. In addition, she should have been the subject of an investigation, and she was also for prison.

“We will see you in court! It is no accident that you are being sued,” Petkova answered him, describing what Radostin Vassilev said in one word – a lie.

Eventually, there will be money for the Mariska basin.

The agenda has changed. Thus, the next point was the postponement of the liberalization. At 13:33 a break of 30 minutes was given.

The meeting resumed with a break of almost an hour. Discussions continue. At 2:53 p.m., voting began on the texts of the draft law.

In the end, the deputies voted that the liberalization of the electricity market is postponed to July 1, 2025. The decision was taken with 152 votes in favor of GERB-SDS, DPS, Vazrazhdane, BSP and ITN. 35 deputies from PPDB abstained, and another 7 from the same group voted “against”.

With the adopted changes in the Law on Energy, KEVR will continue to set quotas of state power plants for electricity produced for the regulated market. NEK maintains its status as a public household supplier until July 1, 2025 – at prices determined by the regulator.

The proposal of the BSP to postpone the liberalization for 3 years, which the leader of the party Cornelia Ninova made during the debates, was not accepted.

Point three – ZID of the Law on the Organization of the Black Sea Coast – second vote.

The proposals for changes in the law were presented by Alexander Nankov from GERB.

Nastimir Ananiev from PPDB took the floor to point out that the report presented did not make it clear whether the state would pay extra to the concessionaire for providing an accessible environment to the beaches, or whether it would be necessary to build facilities with the taxpayer’s funds.

Mediha Hamza from DPS stated that there is an explicit text regarding the technical requirements for the provision of an accessible environment and opposes Ananiev that “outside of any deadlines PPDB started to challenge the draft law”.

Nikolay Nankov from GERB stated that “it is impossible to please Mr. Ananiev” and ironically that the law should have specified “who have the right to enter the sea”.

On behalf of the PG of ITN, Toshko Yordanov requested a half-hour break.

After the break, the people’s representatives switched to ZID of the Law on Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria – first vote. The bill was presented by the initiator Manoil Manev from GERB-SDS.
