Petar Moskov, Blue Bulgaria's top-of-the-list candidate in the Haskovo constituency for the upcoming elections, told local supporters on Saturday, as quoted by the coalition's press office: "It is not the government's business to act as a trader, an entrepreneur, or a builder using our money. We are the only political force working to stop that. Our money should be used to keep the government where we need it, in healthcare, education and security."

"In Haskovo," Moskov argued, "the state-owned water and sewerage company, where the party secretaries appointed by the powerholders were supposed to improve the water quality and the transmission system, were given BGN 20 million, which they spent on replacing meter reader supervisors instead of replacing the pipes."

He vowed that Blue Bulgaria will deprive the government of its role as a builder and will let large private investors do the building job using their own capital and working at their own risk. "The difference for Haskovo will be a fast, high-quality reconstruction of the town's water system, and the result will not be more expensive water," the politician said.
