Bulgaria's Economy and Energy Minister Rumen Ovcharov said Monday that the failure of Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov would be known very soon.
Borisov does nothing about the stray dogs and about the cleanliness of the capital's streets, Ovcharov commented for Nova TV.
Many of the probes into the works of Sofia's bankrupt heating utility were halted during Borisov's time as Secretary General of the Ministry of Interior, Ovcharov also said. He added that Borisov was personally responsible for handing over the utility to the right-hand man of its arrested former head Valentin Dimitrov.
Borisov was now trying to bounce back all the probes with a post date, the Minister also said.
Ovcharov and Borisov drew daggers at each other when media broke that the heating utility is bankrupt and that its head had misappropriated hundreds of thousands. Valentin Dimitrov was jailed on account of money laundering and tax evasion, but the court believes there still isn't a strong enough case against him on the first charge
Both Sofia Municipality and the Economy and Energy Ministry are in charge of the heating utility, and the two institutions' heads have each been trying to blame it on the other.
