Friday 9 February, together with Alexander Kashumov, author of the report “Combating corruption: From Commitments to Action”,Borislav Sandov (President of Zelenite) and Zaritsa Dinkova (Zelenite, International Secretary), Ska Keller will present main findings and calls for action within Bulgaria and at EU level as well as raise concerns about the commercial exploitation of the Pirin National Park.
Ska Keller got prominence in Bulgaria on the occasion of the debate in the European Parliament when PM Boyko Borissov presented the priorities of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU, and answered the MEPs questions. Perhaps the most hard-hitting questions were hers. She raised the issue of the decision by the Borissov cabinet to open construction of tourist facilities in the Pirin national park, and the issue of corruption in Bulgaria.
