Егати държавата, щом това е елитът!

Бившите управляващи от ГЕРБ нададоха силен вой, че служебният кабинет сменя хора на ключови позиции. Отстранените масово обясняват как са работили в интерес на страната и наричат „реваншизъм“ свалянето им от високи постове. На доскорошния премиер Бойко Борисов, който сам се сравняваше с Тодор Живков, 2021-ва му се видя като 1944-та.  Шефът на ДАНС си тръгна, след като изчезна в 4 месечен отпуск при идването на служебното правителство на власт, но отказа да признае това за саботаж на новата власт. Главният секретар на МВР, който допусна полицейски побой над протестиращи през лятото на 2020 година, също се изживява като репресиран. Новата власт смени и Георги Терзийски, когото от управител на предприятие за метални изделия ГЕРБ направи шеф на АПИ. Или иначе казано – „глашатая“ на Бойко Борисов. Сред най-гласовитите са „калинките“ на ГЕРБ. Сменената шефка на Агенцията за инвестиции е взета без конкурс от администрацията, но няма доведен чуждестранен инвеститор. Придвидливо, обаче, си е пазила три години топлото място в Държавен фонд „Земеделие“. По примера на други бивши заместник-министри на ГЕРБ. Надзорниците на Българската банка за развитие бойкотираха срещата с министъра на икономиката Кирил Петков, който разкри, че 1 млрд лева държавни са дадени на 8 големи фирми. След разкритието, че НАП е отписала 10 милиарда лева несъбрани задължения известната с теча на данни бивша шефка на Агенцията Галя Димитрова нагло обясни, че тези пари е нямало как да бъдат събрани.  Това е само част от „елита“ на нацията, за който Бойко Борисов се притеснява.  И по стар навик вади призраци от гардероба, за да плаши.

What if the Whales Could Save Us?

Can whales help cool the temperature of our planet? A whale’s body can store up to 33 tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide. When they die and sink to the ocean floor, all that carbon is stored there for centuries. The International Monetary Fund has calculated that each whale is worth more than two million dollars and are “irreplaceable in mitigating and building resilience to climate change”.
