MP Alexander Dunchev from the ruling party "We continue the change" presented data on schemes in agriculture and delays in the reform of the Executive Forest Agency. According to the information announced by him, companies in the forestry sector benefit at the expense of honest businesses with the help of directors, and dozens of appointments are underway without competitions. 

"In the forest system there is a total purge of all staff, but not the fraudsters and schemers. Mostly honest employees and directors who have proven their incorruptibility are being removed," Dunchev told BNR. 
According to him, persons related to the coalition partner BSP (Bulgarian Socialist Party) have been appointed at key positions. "There is no corruption in agriculture," said BSP MP Georgi Svilenski.
