"The state should buy Lukoil. Then it can look for partners if it wants. If it wants to operate it on its own, that’s fine too. Bulgarians should have cheap fuel", the leader of DPS-New Begining Delyan Peevski told journalists in parliament. 

Delyan Peevski pointed out that Lukoil is to undergo planned maintenance and will stop operating for several months. According to him, the state needs to check if there will be enough fuel for the market.

''The state must intervene immediately and check if there are fuel reserves and what is happening. It must check for a possible provocation from Russia towards us – to stop Lukoil before selling it to someone", said Delyan Peevski.

MЕCH party also proposed in parliament the nationalization of the oil refinery.
