Dogan “fired” him as Minister of Agriculture and advised some of the wealthiest in our country on agricultural investments
What could be the motives of a millionaire to return to politics from which he has already been scalded?
At first glance, Mehmed Dikme’s decision to head the new civic association, the Movement for People’s Unity, DEN, is surprising. But not for those who know him. Dikme has always had a dose of idealism and much more ambition, which in the past brought him serious problems.
The Minister of Agriculture of the tsarist government, loved and supported by Ahmed Dogan, became one of its first obvious enemies.
Some explain the exit of the government with the public reservations of Dikme on the privatization of Bulgartabac. Only a few names in the MRF know the truth about the sudden resignation. At a friendly rally in Kardzhali, Dikme allowed himself public criticism from Ahmed Dogan, and hours later it all reached the leader of the MRF. This is how Minister Dikme’s star is set and Nihat Kabil takes over in agriculture.
In fact, Dikme’s once strong position in the MRF passed through his current partner in civil society, Kassim Dahl.
Before joining the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha team in 2001, he served a term as mayor of Ardino. It was on local soil that the first major confrontation between him and Dogan took place. In the 2007 mayoral elections, Dikme, who had already left the MRF,

He trusted his fellow citizens, who had known him since childhood, to vote for him. The richest grain producers give him additional weight in the battle for mayor. In the end, after the full mobilization of the MRF electorate, Dikme lost in the first round to MRF candidate Resmi Murad. He demanded cancellation and challenged the results, but accepted defeat and chilled his political ambitions for a long time.
On the other hand, Dikme expanded his business, especially as a consultant. Born in the Ardin village of Diamandovo, the former Minister of Agriculture can also be considered the first proven legal millionaire among his colleagues in this position. Already in 2005, shortly after his dismissal as minister, Dikme founded the company “Euroagroconsult 2005” EOOD with a share capital of BGN 5,000. His partner was the late hotelier Stefan Sharlopov, but 2-3 years later he retired. Dikme advised the wealthiest Bulgarians, who at that time began their first investments in agriculture. He experiments with the cultivation of olives in the Rhodopes, and also manages

From the latest published financial statements of “Euroagroconsult 2005” it appears that the company has a large number of specialized construction equipment, ie. he obviously carries out a wide range of activities.
But the millions of Dikme are not his. They are in the photovoltaic plant business. The former minister together with Svetoslav Boboychev, born in 1989, founded in 2009 two companies – Ecoenergy Solar EOOD and Ecosolar EOOD, with the theme of the construction activity of photovoltaic power plants. Two years later, on October 17, 2011, the two signed a contract with the South Korean giant Samsung, under which they sold their shares in the two companies. But in the meantime, one company received permission from the Vratsa municipality to build a 10-megawatt park in the Kolomanovo area, and the other company – for a 15-megawatt plant in the same area. It also has approved requests for connection to the energy grid. For all this, the two receive a total of 5 million euros from the South Koreans, that is. by virtue of the shares owned

Notably, all of this happened before the major scandals that rocked the energy sector during the first GERB government, and about a year before a moratorium was imposed on the construction of new solar plants.
There is no evidence that Dikme sold a ready-made plant to the South Koreans, but rather a project that has been taken to an irreversible stage. The contract with Samsung, which was published in the Commercial Registry, establishes only that Dikme and Boboychev sell their shares in the company, the amount, the notarial fact that it has been paid and that the two parties have no claims against each other.
In other words, Dikme did what many people did in the energy sector at the time: they built projects, but did not take care of their implementation and then found good buyers.
Dikme also owns half of another company, obviously dedicated to photovoltaic energy: Solar Group Bulgaria EOOD. It is registered in the “Zone B-18” of the capital. It was created a little later, in 2010.
Clearly, success in business is no longer enough for Dikme. In the last 2-3 years, he reminds himself with regular television interviews in which

If Dikme’s ambitions overlap with reality in the elections, why not see him again in the executive branch as part of a future grand coalition? But that’s why Johnny, as his fellow Cave Tobacco College colleagues call Dikme, will have to demonstrate not only his childhood skills as a goalkeeper and save goals, but also learn to score in the opponent’s goal.
