MP Desislava Trifonova together with members of the GERB-UDF parliamentary group submitted a report to the State Agency for National Security (SANS) and the Interior Ministry about a controversial memorandum signed by Kiril Petkov's government with Gemcorp Holdings Limited. "We want an investigation into committed legal violations, as well as whether the committed violations of the law constitute illegal acts within the meaning of the Criminal Code," commented Trifonova.
"On March 23, 2022, in the Granite Hall of the Council of Ministers, a Memorandum was signed between the Ministry of Energy, Gemcorp Holdings Limited and IP3 Corporation. The proposal for a memorandum was tabled only two days earlier in the Energy Ministry," the document states.
The signed memorandum regulates the development and co-financing of projects – a project for the Maritsa industrial complex; a restoration and re-industrialization project, the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector (IGB) project for liquefied natural gas (LNG); a project for the improvement and modernization of systems at Sofia's heating utility Toplofikatsiya, projects for small modular reactors (MMR) and others.
A letter from the Minister of Energy to Trifonova shows that the Ministry does not have the following information: based on what criteria was the company Gemcorp Holdings Limited selected; has information been provided on the availability of qualified experts for the implementation of the memorandum and the corresponding annex; has a reliability check been done; how the scope of the memorandum was determined and the existence of preliminary analyses for the necessity of its signing.
Attached to the document are over 100 pages of documents relating to the Memorandum and the correspondence surrounding it.
