At an emergency briefing this morning, Minister of Energy Alexander Nikolov announced that there was a coordinated attack against the new management of the state-owned company Bulgargaz, after the old management was completely replaced a week ago.
The reason for the briefing was information spread yesterday by former Energy Minister Rumen Ovcharov about a deal by the company for the sale of 60,000 megawatt hours of gas to Romania on the gas exchange.
