BGN 100 Million Budget for the Elections in Bulgaria
The new acting finance minister, Lyudmila Petkova, unveiled the budget for the upcoming elections, which amounts to BGN 100 million
Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski has reacted strongly after Bulgaria's Finance Minister Simeon Djankov said at a lecture in another school he would not recommend to anybody going there.
Djankov's remark was made in the University for National and World Economy, also in Sofia.
The faculty of the Sofia University has declared in a statement that the words of the Deputy PM harm the image of their school, which under a government rating system praised by Djankov, is No. 1 in the country.
The SU insists that the minister should provide justification for his assessment of the oldest modern Bulgarian university (founded 1888), and says it had been wrong by trusting Djankov's promises.
"If a government minister in the USA, where Djankov is proud to have received his education, affords such an assessment about Hardvard or Yale, this will probably be their last speech," says the SU management, who also accuse the Finance Minister of failing to do what he promised in terms of funding for the school.
Over the past few weeks students and faculty of the SU have been out in the streets protesting budgets cuts, instituted by Djankov.
Djankov himself first started his education at the UNWE before studying in Vienna, Berlin, Pittsburg and Michighan.
