Ok. Question: Why is “Gazprom” still in the Bulgarian political debate? None of the Putin’s company will deliver anything to any EU and NATO country. Dot. End of story. What is this gentleman talking about? He didn’t read news for last 6 months?!

  1. Въпроса е защо пишеш на английски ако разбираш български и си му гледал интервюто. Радев има амбиции Путин да му се усмихне и да изпълним договора си но Русия смята България за неприятелска страна, рано или късно и Радев ще го разбере, дотогава, ще слушаме още за Газпром.

    AFAIK, Gazprom delivers *something* to other EU and NATO countries right now.

    Plus, there are talks about Bulgaria being in non-compliance according to a contract with Gazprom, and that Bulgaria might be forced by an international court to pay billions of damages to Gazprom, so at least some talks with Gazprom are absolutely necessary, at least to avoid this scenario.

  3. Bulgaria’s gas imports from Gazprom accounts only 1/4th of our imported energy from Russia. I don’t see much outcry about all the petrolium products we are buying (which account at more than 70%) and not seeing outcry that Petkov got an exemption of the sanctions of Russian energy…

  4. Because our president is a Russian proposal. The Russian intelligence knew he was going to be our president before we knew. A Russian general spoke with the leader of the Bulgarian socialist party (former communist party) and the leader of that party told him that Radev is gonna be the candidate. It was leaked on Russian TV before we knew.

    Our last regular government was pro EU/NATO but collapsed and now the president appointed a temporary government and quickly resumed talks with Gazprom.

  5. Depends which answer you’re looking for.

    The one you’re not looking for is probably the fact that, even before the current energy crisis, 30% of bulgarians could not afford adequate heating.
