Former Deputy Prime Minister of Bulgaria dies, Ninova sank in grief

One of the wise leaders in Bulgaria, in the districts of Stara Zagora and Haskovo and in the municipality of Kazanlak, this is how many Bulgarians remember him.

“He was intelligent, punctual, a defender of moral principles in government, and an extremely modest man, despite the positions he held,” said the Socialists with whom he worked.

According to them, he never showed pride, nor did he change his human attitude towards people for a moment. He was deputy prime minister, minister of industry, first party leader in Stara Zagora and Haskovo districts and in Kazanlak municipality.

“He left us a worthy socialist, anti-fascist, deeply ethical, caring, honest and extraordinary, who stayed true to our ideas until his last breath. “Everywhere, Mincho Yovchev carried out his party and his public tasks, he treated everyone and everything responsibly and in principle,” BSP leader Cornelia Ninova wrote in a letter of condolence to her relatives.

“Not only the socialists, but also many Bulgarians, we remember him with his dialogue, scale, diplomacy, tolerance, entrepreneurship for the development of our region, infrastructure, water supply and sewerage, industry.

Their decisions are the basis for regional innovations and the rise of Bulgaria, “the chairman of the BSP Regional Council, Rumyana Dineva, wrote to his family. Parliamentarians also expressed their condolences.

The BSP-Stara Zagora Municipal Council, the Regional Council and the BAS-Stara Zagora Municipal Council added in their condolences that “the development of the economy of the regional city and the defense of communist and socialist ideas are the essence of their job.

Mincho Yovchev, a convinced anti-fascist, fought to preserve the historical truth about the anti-fascist resistance in Bulgaria and the socialist creation of the Fatherland.

The Kazanlak socialists, for whom he is an unsurpassed authority, wrote in an obituary that they will not forget “the responsible economic and partisan figure who taught us that the meaning of a dignified life is caring for the welfare of people with love.” Rest in peace!”.

Mincho Yovchev will remain in the memory of many with his compelling lessons on a prosperous Bulgaria. A highly respected person has left.

The service will be in a close family circle on Sunday, December 6, 2020, starting at 12:15 in the Kazanlak Cemetery Hall.
