34 Bulgarian families living in a complex at our embassy in the Czech Republic are worried about staying on the streets during the holidays, reports BTV.
A few days ago, our compatriots realized that they had to vacate state housing before December 31st.
Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva suspended the decision to leave and ordered an investigation into the case.
Diplomats, professors, graduates and students live with their families in the state complex 5 blocks from our mission in Prague. Some of them are over 15 years old and re-sign a contract every year. That was until a few days ago, when the manager told them that they would not complete a new one starting in January.
“On December 18, I received a phone call that was not approved, in a sentence, without arguments or reasons,” says Galin Bozhkov.
Another resident of the complex, Antoaneta Yaneva, added that, according to the ambassador, the order came from Sofia.
There are 34 apartments to vacate.
The Foreign Ministry sent a reply to BTV: “After learning from you about the case, Deputy Prime Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva ordered the suspension of the tenant vacancy. It is absurd and inhumane for people who have lived in the same house for years to be notified with 12 days of anticipation that they have to leave it, during the holidays of Christmas and New Year ”, says the statement.
The Bulgarian ambassador to the Czech Republic, Yordan Parvanov, explained that the State Property Law does not allow rental relationships for more than 10 years, adding that there are inquiries about the houses of other Bulgarians. However, he assured that there will be a grace period of months before leaving.
“We are looking for all possibilities to prevent this from happening under current conditions, that is, a pandemic, under conditions now on vacation,” he said.
Stakeholders insist on specific reasons for the decision to leave.
