Municipal Court Orders Pazardjik Municipality to Disclose the Salary of the Head of 'Chistota'

Municipal councilor from Pazarjik, Atanas Shopov, achieved a legal victory against the municipality, as the administrative court mandated that it provide information about the salary of the manager of the newly established municipal enterprise 'Chistota'.

The court's decision requires transparency regarding the expenses of the enterprise, which was created with the aim of generating revenue for the municipal treasury, rather than being used by private companies that previously carried out the same activities in Pazarjik and 30 villages.

The court obliges the municipality to respond to inquiries about the current expenses of the enterprise. According to Shopov, this transparent informational approach will help clarify who is actually servicing the waste business in the region, especially considering that a loan of several million euros was taken out to establish the enterprise.

Shopov revealed that on February 3, he submitted an inquiry about the salary of the director of 'Chistota' – Ms. Marinova, who is from Haskovo and travels between Haskovo and Pazarjik. He also pointed out that her salary is probably higher than that of Mayor Petar Kulinksi.

Public attention is focused on the salaries and costs associated with this enterprise, with Shopov emphasizing that they are financed by the funds of local residents.

He added that management in Pazarjik is dominated by people from various cities across the country, rather than local residents, and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of representatives from Pazarjik in the management structure.

There are over 230 people in the city responsible for cleanliness and landscaping. In just three months, over 400 signals have been received by the complaints and grievances committee.

The manager of 'Chistota,' Yana Marinova, declined to comment on the situation, while the municipality stated it will comply with the court ruling regardless of its outcome. The topic remains on the agenda, with expectations of further developments.
