Pavel Popov, the top candidate in Varna of Continue the Change–Democratic Bulgaria, and MP candidates described their meetings with small and medium-sized businesses as particularly stimulating moments in the election campaign, the coalition’s press centre reported. The reason is that the city is developing its entrepreneurial spirit, and the CC-DB programme includes many concrete opportunities aimed at supporting innovation and the business potential of the region.
The topic of innovation was discussed at a meeting between CC-DB candidates and Alexander Atanasov, whose company manages energy systems sought by both international fossil fuel companies and individual households. The goal of clients is to reduce their electricity bills, and Atanasov’s company helps them through its innovative solutions.
“The liberalization of the energy market, which is currently used as a scare tactic, can be an opportunity if the state encourages our adaptation to a changing world, including through innovation and digitalization,” said Pavel Popov, emphasizing the lack of action in this area. According to him, energy is one of the seven main themes of CC-DB. “Not everything in this field is a matter of geopolitics. Important decisions by parliament are needed to give Bulgarians more control over consumption and to reduce the financial pressure from expensive fuels on households. Technologies are an important tool in this effort,” Popov added.
