Analyst Krystian Szkwarek published a commentary on the social network Facebook, in which he analyzed the results of the study of the Institute for Market Economics /IME/, from which it became clear that the highest wages in Bulgaria are received in municipalities with developed industry, not in large cities. Thus, the ranking for 2022 was led by municipalities such as Chelopech, Kozloduy and Kresna. We’d like to publish Krystian Szkwarek’s commentary without editorial interference:
„Mining, energy, industrialized agriculture.
And above all: industry, industry, industry.
It’s not just outsourcing in Sofia, because you cannot retrain 6 million people in the field of IT and customer service. Nor would it be sustainable. However, you can turn them into people with a normal, European standard of living when you develop industry, industry, industry.
By the way, how is the situation in the town of Tran? Do you remember it? There, where in 2017 the „Greens“ organized a local referendum with the request that gold mining should not be developed. Steadily supported by „Kapital“ media, raised as a celebration of the good of the „democratic community“.
The same one where Belev, Sandov and company promised that instead of mining gold, the region would get rich from „ECOTOURISM“. Can you guess exactly how much Ecotourism has been developed and how much richer Tran has become in the next 7 years?
In fact, today it is at the bottom of the queue in terms of income, but at the top of the list in terms of depopulation. It is a literally dying city and region – „green“ and poor. Moreover, it could be on the list of the map, even in the top places, if the mining industry was developed there today.
Many other regions of the country could also gain income rapidly if energy, agriculture and industry were not hampered by the dim-witted regulations and quotas resulting from the Greta-Thunberg sectarianism.“
