Bulgarian Socialist Party Leader, Sergey Stanishev, has presented documentation to the Bulgarian Parliament refuting claims that his former government hid warning letters from the European Union.

PM Boyko Borisov and Environment Minister, Nona Karadzhova, recently accused the former BSP-led government of hiding letters from the EU that warned that Bulgaria would lose money from the ‘Environment’ Operational Program.

Stanishev refuted the claims and presented letters between Rayka Ontsova, the former Head of the "Audit of EU Funds" Executive Agency at the Ministry of Finance, and Karadzhova from July and August 2009 informing of the letter from European Commission Regional Policy Directorate-General, Dirk Ahner.

Stanishev concluded by asking; “Who is lying now?” and he also went on to blame Bulgaria PM Boyko Borisov for creating “yet another melodrama”.
