GERB is demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Rumen Radev and the ministers responsible for the tragedy on Trakia Motorway, MP Daniel Mitov told a news briefing in Parliament on Tuesday.
Mitov began by expressing condolences to the families of those killed in the motorway accidents.
Two serious multiple-vehicle collisions occurred in dense fog on Trakia Motorway near the Zimnitsa interchange, close to Yambol, on Tuesday. Eleven people were reported killed and nearly 50 injured, with a total of 86 vehicles involved in the accidents.
Mitov said that, on a day when the government should have shown humility, those in power had once again begun shifting responsibility for the problems of their own administration onto previous governments.
He also criticised Radev and his associates and accused them of once again demonstrating their inability to govern.
Mitov accused the government of repeatedly misleading the public. He challenged Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev’s claim that one of the factors contributing to the tragedy was the lack of connectivity between the Road Infrastructure Agency (RIA), the Interior Ministry and the toll management systems.
According to Mitov, when a new interactive platform providing up-to-date road information was presented on October 29, the RIA director stated that data was being exchanged with the Interior Ministry in real time. Mitov noted that this had taken place under the current government.
GERB-UDF MP Nikolay Nankov said the motorway section had not been treated and described the road surface as extremely slippery.
He said the situation centre had received information about deteriorating weather conditions and the possibility of fog as early as Monday. According to Nankov, real-time footage from toll cameras showed extremely difficult weather conditions at least an hour before the accidents.
He criticized what he described as a complete lack of response from the competent authorities and questioned whether Road Infrastructure Agency officials had been carrying out their duties.
Nankov also said that, for the first time in 30 years, winter maintenance arrangements for Trakia Motorway had still not been formally introduced as of November 10.
Regarding electronic signs warning drivers of dangerous weather conditions in real time, Nankov said the Road Infrastructure Agency had signed a contract in 2020 for the installation of 40 innovative electronic signs along the motorway. However, the contract was terminated in 2022, he added.
GERB-UDF MP Temenuzhka Petkova accused Radev of attempting to manipulate public opinion by referring to the findings of a Road Infrastructure Agency audit report to suggest that responsibility for Tuesday’s accidents lay with decisions made years earlier.
Petkova claimed that the audit had been commissioned to manipulate the figures for Bulgaria’s 2025 budget deficit and provide the current government with an excuse for what she described as its inability to govern the country.
A representative of GERB’s youth organization announced that the organization was arranging a blood donation drive and invited anyone willing to participate.
