Some were appointed after a competition and demand an apology, threatening to sue the DPS chairman
59 people manage the state energy sector – that’s the number of board and supervisory board members of these companies plus top managers. Almost 1/4 of them were connected to the president, the chairman of the DPS parliamentary group, Delyan Peevski, doubted. He showed on Friday in the parliament a list of 16 of the board members appointed during the interim governments and that of Kiril Petkov.
Here is the list of all cashiers in the energy sector of Mr. Cash Rumen Radev and Nikolay Koprinkov from the village of Trud.

This is the first thread, I hope you’re into it, Peevski said in a brief statement on the sidelines. A day ago, he vowed to dedicate the looming election campaign to “debunking the entire political model” so that people can see the truth. And he has been calling the president “Mr. Cash” for quite some time now.
According to this list, 8 of the managers and supervisors were appointed during the time of Rosen Hristov as acting minister (in Galab Donev’s office), three – under acting minister Andrey Zhivkov (Stefan Yanev’s government), the rest were during the time of Alexander Nikolov, who led the energy department in Kiril Petkov’s office.
The list is headed by the chairman of the board of directors of the Bulgarian Energy Holding, Veselina Katanova-Buchkova, who is still the head of the board. According to BEH sources, she was appointed in 2021, not in 2023, as it says in Peevski’s list. She was in a law office with the former Minister of Justice (once Minister of Justice and the second time – Minister of Internal Affairs) Ivan Demerdzhiev.
The other two appointments to the board from the minister’s quota (in this case – to Rosen Hristov) are to Ivo Todorov and Kalin Filipov. The latter comes from the Technical University, Department of “Nuclear Energy”.
“What can I comment on a desperate politician”, said Rosen Hristov, contacted by “24 Chasa”.
He insisted that in his 10 months as minister he mainly dealt with the gas crisis and the diversification of nuclear fuel for the two units at the Kozloduy NPP.
During his time, the head of Bulgargaz, Lyudmil Yotsov, who was appointed at the beginning of the gas crisis, was replaced. at the office “Petkov”. Then Hristov said that Yotsov left on his own and returned to the private company “Met Energy”. Denitsa Zlateva was appointed in his place, and she was removed in April, already in the first days of the “Glavchev” cabinet.
In Peevski’s list for “Bulgargaz” only the name of Ivan Topchiyski, head of the board of directors of the gas company from the time of the “Petkov” cabinet, is recorded.
During the time of Rumen Hristov, the company “National Energy Operator” was also established. On its board is Alexander Mihailov, who was the head of “Kintex”, but was fired by Kornelia Ninova. The other name on Peevski’s list for this company is Katya Rusalijska, but she joined the energy operator after a competition.
The projects and orders in the energy sector are long-term – for years, so in his short time an official minister cannot make “schemes”, commented Hristov.
From the time of the minister in the “Petkov” cabinet, Alexander Nikolov, Martin Georgiev – as head of the company – and Alexander Rusanov, former political advisor of MP Venko Sabrutev from PP, were appointed to NEK.
It is easier to deal with nouns and not make efforts to track down dates, facts, financial data, commented ex-minister Nikolov.
This “rudeness is an insult to me”, he added, when contacted by “24 Chasa” for a comment. According to him, society’s time was just being wasted.
Another named in Peevski’s list – Andrey Valchev, a member of the supervision of the Electricity System Operator, reacted with
emotional appeal
on Facebook to Delyan Peevski
and the media.
“The inclusion of my name in a list that someone somewhere is spreading with statements that can only be qualified as defamatory is vile, dishonest and insulting,” wrote Valchev and explained in detail the procedure of the contest he won.
He demanded an apology within the day and threatened: “Otherwise, I will seek my rights through the courts, as happens in a legal and democratic state.”
“24 Chasa” also sought a comment from the presidential institution, but no such comment was received until the editorial end of the issue.
