The Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works is proposing legal changes to grant amnesty for existing illegal structures, including highways, reservoirs, and gas pipelines. This move comes as Varna has reportedly issued over 230 permits for 'tolerance' of illegal construction without proper urban development plans over the past three years, a situation described as 'illegal construction on an epidemic scale'.
In other domestic news, opposition groups are calling to keep 'hands off the Dossier Commission', indicating ongoing scrutiny of state security archives. There are also reports of prosecutorial checks against 12 candidates for the Supreme Judicial Council.
Economically, the National Revenue Agency reports a 9% increase in company revenues across Bulgaria, reaching 348 billion euros. However, the 'Lemprier Wool' company is closing its production facility in Sliven, resulting in job losses. Additionally, ships are reportedly refusing to load grain from Bulgarian ports.
