Dimitar Kumanov in front of FACTS: The whole issue is about who owns the hydroelectric power plants along the rivers? (V

In many places, many hydropower plants have been built in rivers that are publicly state owned and without an established right of construction. We have been revealing this for a long time, we have been reporting to the prosecutor's office, and the prosecutor's office has taken appropriate actions that have reached the court. At the district level, the courts have en masse declared these permits null and void because they were issued to a non-owner. But then Phones, Connections, Money came into play in the Supreme Court, and four such district court decisions were overturned. This is what he announced to Lili Marinkova in the "FACTS" studio. and the show “Conversation“ Dimitar Kumanov from the "Balkanka" association.

“The strangest thing was that, while there were other decisions of the Supreme Court that said that these permits were null and void, now that the connections and the money had turned around, they ruled otherwise. Now, realistically, if we say that they are illegal, we will contradict the court's decision”, Kumanov also shared.

“The whole issue is who owns the hydropower plants on the rivers? The official companies that have indicated their owners of these hydropower plants are few. And it's no secret that most of them are connected to political figures who rarely advertise that they are the owners of hydropower plants. Politicians don't advertise themselves because the hydroelectric power plants used preferences – as a fixed price of purchase and joining the network, and so it turns out that they have arranged themselves with these preferences”, the guest added.
