🕴️ Oligarchs

Investigations into the murder of former MEP Slavi Binev are producing the kind of details that bridge the gap between crime and governance. One of three suspects is reportedly linked to a government official, while another was already known to the police from a prior accusation. A separate murder, that of Iliyan Filipov, is being attributed to unsettled debts in the world of illegal betting. The front pages are now asking the Prime Minister to clarify whether these are simple domestic tragedies or the work of an oligarchy. The state Fund of Funds has released €400m for business, infrastructure, and renovation projects across more than 50 municipalities. For those more interested in private enterprise, a new €60m factory has opened its doors; it is fully automated and dedicated entirely to the production of bruschetta. Elsewhere, political parties have largely ignored the concerns of Bulgarian emigrants in Turkey, and a water main break has cut off road access to Varna. On the outskirts of the capital, a bear sighting on Vitosha mountain led authorities to issue a warning for hikers to put away their phones: the priority is safety, not photography.
