Title: Over 200 Bulgarian Settlements Without Power: DPS-NN Demands Investigation
In a shocking revelation, DPS-Novo Nasledstvo (DPS-NN) has condemned the current power situation in Bulgaria, stating that over 200 populated areas have been without electricity, a scandalous figure that has left residents struggling, especially during the holidays.
In a statement to the media, DPS-NN stated, "It’s alarming that the minister is ‘scaring’ the ERPs, the very entities responsible for these outages. There’s been no reprieve for these people, with the temperatures dropping and no stable power supply to keep them warm."
The party has urged the Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (KEVR) to immediately launch an investigation into the investments and technical security of the power grids. They emphasized that Bulgarian citizens have paid for 24/7 power supply and any continued crisis should result in stringent penalties, including the revocation of licenses for the companies involved.
"If KEVR doesn’t take immediate action, we will involve all competent authorities for a full-scale investigation of the electricity distribution companies," the statement reads.
DPS-NN stresses that there is no excuse for such widespread power outages in 21st-century Europe. They demand accountability and offenders to be held responsible.
The party’s harsh criticism comes amidst ongoing power shortages during the severe winter, leaving thousands of Bulgarians in the cold and dark. The current situation is raising questions about the effectiveness of the country’s power distribution system and the regulatory bodies responsible for ensuring stable supply.
