🧔 Escobar

A figure known as Petrichkiya Escobar has been released from custody without bail, just as new details surface regarding the circumstances of his pardon. The case adds another chapter to a long-running dispute over how the executive branch exercises its power of clemency. In Sofia, the cost of waste disposal may reach 179 euros per ton as the city re-launches its management tender. With the local processing plant undergoing repairs after 11 years, the municipality is finding that disposing of its rubbish is becoming as difficult as it is expensive. The presidential election moves to a runoff between Iliana Iotova and Andrey Gyurov. Boyko Borissov has endorsed Gyurov, bringing the country’s main political rivals into an alignment that few expected before the first round of voting.
