MRF – New Beginning Leader Peevski Calls for Sofia Mayor’s Resignation over Waste Crisis 2026

Balgarianovinite.com The leader of MRF – New Beginning, Delyan Peevski, has called for the resignation of Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev, the party’s press centre said.
For months, Bulgaria’s capital has been sinking into garbage and filth, Peevski said.
“Who ordered this outrage? The answer is very simple – the Mayor of Sofia, Vasil Terziev,” Peevski said, as quoted in the statement.
“Mayor, Sofia is facing a waste crisis. There is only one way out of this failure – immediate resignation,” Peevski added.
MRF – New Beginning said it will refer the matter to the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water, a structure under the Ministry of Environment and Water, as well as to the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate under the Ministry of Health, requesting an urgent risk assessment to people’s life and health. The request concerns illegal landfills, uncollected household and industrial waste, and violations of the Waste Management Act and the Health Act, the statement said. 
Commenting on the waste problem in the capital late last week, Vasil Terziev said he has a responsibility to provide a service at an affordable price. “I will solve this problem, no matter how much my critics and opponents may doubt it,” he said. 
Several boroughs of Bulgaria’s capital have been experiencing waste collection issues since October 2025. The crisis began in the boroughs of Lyulin and Krasno Selo after Sofia City Hall refused to sign new waste collection contracts over inflated prices. At the time, Mayor Terziev said that Sofia Municipality would not pay a protection racket fee and would not yield to “mafia practices”. In early December, Izgrev, Poduyane, and Slatina joined the list of boroughs with disrupted waste collection. A temporary collection system has been in force since. During the first days of 2026, citizens reported difficulties with waste collection in several areas, including the Lyulin, Poduyane, and Slatina boroughs. City Hall representatives said the backlog in collection in critical areas of Sofia will be cleared.  MRF – New Beginning Leader Peevski Calls for Sofia Mayor’s Resignation over Waste Crisis 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-01-13 07:36:04 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
