"The result in Pazardzhik is natural and is not a surprise. For the last 16 years, the city was governed according to a feudal model and is the most depopulated regional city in Bulgaria. Every fourth resident has left Pazardzhik in the last 10 years," commented the winner of the post of mayor to Bulgarian National Radio. He defined the financial situation of Pazardzhik Municipality as extremely difficult and stated that the city needs several urgent infrastructure projects. /BGNES
