About half a billion euros have been given by the Bulgarian Development Bank (BDB) to 8 companies, which are anything but small. The fact is that they are associated with several iconic faces. One is Delyan Peevski. For me, this is scandalous because this is a state-owned bank. It turns out that the main activity of the state is to support big businesses, the spokesman of the caretaker cabinet Anton Kutev told Nova TV.

"It is a fact, however, that in just three days the caretaker government has done a lot, and we will not stop there," Kutev added. 
Regarding the accusations that caretaker cabinet ministers are conducting purges in their respective ministries, Kutev commented that there was no way to change the policies without changing the persons who embody them.
