The Bulgarian Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers (BFIEC) told Premier Kiril Petkov that they were ready to protest over the expected increase in gas prices. Bulgaria’s industry cannot afford natural gas prices higher than the April prices, Ivaylo Naydenov, executive director of BFIEC, said for the BNR. The Bulgarian Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers called on the government to take measures to keep prices at the current levels or reduce gas prices. "Otherwise, we will have no choice but to organize protests, as announced by the employers' organizations," Ivaylo Naidenov said.
Earlier, the government's press service announced that on Thursday, May 5, Premier Kiril Petkov will meet with representatives of employers' organizations over the price of gas and electricity.
