After Bulgaria's accession to the eurozone, political debates in the country are shifting to a new topic - the management of state properties. The MP from _MRF - New Beginning_ Kalin Stoyanov sharply criticizes President Rumen Radev's statement regarding an alleged _sell-off_ of state properties by the government.
In a post on the social network Facebook, Stoyanov describes the head of state's words as _incorrect, populist and suggesting untruths_. According to the MP, President Radev is joining _another made-up topic_ launched by the political formations PP-DB, whom Radev himself has called _charlatans_.
Stoyanov emphasizes that the proposed changes to the State Property Act do not envisage a sell-off of properties, but their transfer to municipalities. He argues that this is a measure aimed at ending the destruction of numerous properties across the country.
The MP rejects the president's suggestion that the state treasury is _emptied_ due to Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone and that the government is looking for ways to raise funds by selling state assets. Stoyanov describes this claim as a _populist lie_ and assures that MRF-New Beginning will oppose any attempts to sell state properties to private individuals.
In his statement, Kalin Stoyanov accuses the caretaker governments appointed by President Radev, as well as the PP-DB administration, of committing _the biggest thefts from the state_. As an example, he points to the contract with _Botash_, signed by Radev's caretaker cabinet, which according to Stoyanov leads to daily losses for the country amounting to 1,050,000 leva.
In response to the emerging debates, the Council of Ministers published the full text of the letter to the chairman of the parliament, with which the cabinet proposes to the National Assembly to approve the Program for exercising rights over state-owned properties and over properties owned by state public enterprises.
This controversy highlights the ongoing tension between different political forces in Bulgaria and shows that the management of state assets remains a sensitive topic that is likely to continue to be the subject of intense debate in the near future.
