National Construction Control Directorate sees no problem with the construction of a new lift in Pirin National Park

MRDPW claims that the official inspection by National Construction Control Directorate (NCCD) has established compliance with Pirin National Park’s Management Plan and the current spatial development plan.
Is that so? Strange, NCCD has not established the clear and outrageous discrepancies between the existing 3-seat lift and the new 6-lift lift when inspecting the documents related to them:
According to the concession and the current special development plan, the servitude of the 3-seat lift under Todorka Peak is 1.93 ha or 19.300 m2. The length of the lift is 2141m. (see: https://www.facebook.com/forthenature.org/photos/pcb.889167111121042/889166244454462/?type=1&theater)
According to ex-EcoMinister Stanislav Anastasov’s (DPS) ruling from 2014, which permits the construction of a 6-seat lift, and on account of which there is an ongoing inspection by the Prosecutor’s Office, the area of the servitude of the new lift is far bigger - 31 154 sq. m. The length of the new lift is 2178m. (see: https://www.facebook.com/forthenature.org/photos/pcb.889167111121042/889166241121129/?type=1&theater)

Nowhere in the Management Plan of Pirin National Park is written that construction in the tourism zone is admissible. This is established by the Ministry of Environment and Water (MEW) in 2011, when it rejects Yulen AD’s bid to construct a new 6-seat lift under Todorka Peak.
Nowhere in the Management Plan of Pirin National Park and in the current spatial development plan is written, that the lift under Todorka Peak can become 6-seat.

All this shows, that the state institution National Construction Control Directorate (NCCD) has not done its job. The reasons for this can be two – incompetence or an attempt to cover a violation by an offshore firm and a part of the national park to be transferred forever to anonymous private owners.

The Coalition “Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria” requests that MRDPW carry out an inspection of the work of NCCD with the participation of our representatives in the case with the 6-seat lift Ikrishte-Todorka, which is being constructed. If the information the environmentalists unveil is confirmed, the Prosecutor’s Office should be notified, and personal changes in the Directorate be made.

The Coalition “Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria” warns again that if the State refuses to cancel the DPS shady deal and stop the criminal seizing of territories from Pirin National Park by an offshore company, this will transfer political responsibility for the failure to observe the law in Pirin from Oresharski Government to the incumbent Borisov Government.
