On September 30, a dispute between municipal councilors and representatives of the civil association "For a stable local authority" was to take place in the big hall of the municipality. The invitation for the dispute was from the councillors and as early as last week Dr. Dremalova said that the association did not accept it and would not participate. Expectations that there would indeed be no dispute were fully confirmed - at the appointed day and hour there were only councillors in the hall.
On behalf of the initiators of the failed dispute spoke Ekaterina Kaferinova. She said that they had sent out an invitation for dialogue, as there is really a need to talk about a stable local authority, and the Municipal Council does not want to confront either the administration or the citizens. It is sickly and unworthy that the people of the association only throw accusations, but do not wish to discuss publicly, to point out ways to solve the problems. He spits against the municipal councillors, mud is thrown against one of the most important institutions of the local government, and we cannot defend ourselves, said Mrs. Kaferinova on the occasion of the television broadcasts of the Beevi brothers. The full weight of the charges to the Municipal Council I take personally and I feel offended, said Chairman Nejat Kehayov. The initiative committee of the association is anonymous, it does not come to a conversation, and this shows that it is conducted by one person or by two who have an interest in creating tension. The initiative committee diverts public attention from the extremely delicate situation in the municipality and transfers the responsibility from the executive to the Municipal Council, which is a big manipulation, N. Kehayov. As an example that the Municipal Council may be responsible he also pointed out the last session at which the councillors pleaded for projects, plans, roads.
The attending councillors from all political forces except the Green Party decided on behalf of the Municipal Council to be approached by the Council for Electronic Media (CEM) for a one-sided presentation of an important public problem in the BBC's "Theme of the Week" broadcast from September 27, when representatives of the civil association were visiting. The Chairman of the Municipal Council was assigned to make a written request to BBTV for equal participation of municipal councilors in the same broadcast.
