The National Assembly has canceled the possibility of Bulgaria receiving hundreds of millions of euros for energy, said Minister Traykov. He criticized the parliament's decision to ban actions on the restructuring of BEH, related to payments under the Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Traykov emphasized the need for responsibility when making decisions. He also commented on complaints about high electricity bills, noting that the caretaker government is working on the topic and it needs to be established whether there are problems with metering. The Minister stated that no client should pay more than their actual consumption.

Traykov pointed out that many of the complaints are actually for lower bills, which indicates a lack of good faith.
