Speaking in Parliament, Ombudsman Maya Manolova said the fight against the iniquity of monopolies in Bulgaria was heavy and uneven. In a report on her activities during the year, the Ombudsman pointed out that there was little to boast when it came to the battle against the iniquity of monopolies. As a success in her work, Manolova pointed out resolving specific cases of many citizens, the closure of the parallel private judicial system, the initiative to exempt donated food from VAT. The latest initiative of the ombudsman was called "Easter for Everyone" and is the only one in Bulgaria targeted at pensioners.
