"Vazrajdane" insists that the new Minister of Transport conduct a complete audit of the Ministry of Transport and Communications regarding BDZ in connection with the tragic incidents with trains in recent weeks. This was told to journalists in parliament by Petar Petrov from the party, reported by BTA.
He pointed out that last week at the presidential council they asked why the acting Minister of Transport was not appearing in connection with a hearing they requested, and that, given that we have two serious incidents. The same afternoon, we had another serious accident - the crash of two trains near the village of Lokorsko, again two people died. I immediately spoke to the new Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadjov, requested a meeting with him, which we will go to next week, and also yesterday, immediately after the oath, I again submitted a question to him - what is happening in the BDZ system, noted Petar Petrov. We will seek answers for these frequent tragedies in BDZ, the MP pointed out. This cannot continue, hundreds of thousands of people use BDZ and it is high time the state took measures, he added.
At the beginning of next week, we will explicitly ask the minister to conduct a review of the caretaker minister's management, specifically with regard to the management of BDZ - what has been done and what has not been done, and if necessary, we will also refer the matter to the prosecutor's office, said Petar Petrov. He specified that from "Vazrazhdane" insist on a complete revision of the Ministry of Transport, specifically regarding BDZ.
Tens of thousands of people use railway transport every day, the most important thing is that they have security, Petrov pointed out. BDZ's passenger and freight transport are part of national security, he recalled.
