Energy experts have sparked a heated debate on BNT over whether we should look for a way to gain full independence from Russian gas or negotiate with Gazprom.

The gas we are receiving now is Russian, and trade estimates show that.

Mediators benefit first, followed by Putin.

This was stated by the GERB MP

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in and former energy minister Delyan Dobrev.

He stressed that the United States is the largest productive gas.

The MP also showed estimates that our country is buying Russian gas again, but at higher prices. 

The big question is how to guarantee Bulgaria's gas security, not who the mediator is, said Tasko Ermenkov of the BSP

It is the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP for short). It is naive to wait for gas from Qatar.

They have already signed agreements with other countries, he added.

Gyurov: In the long run we can be pleasantly surprised by the price of natural gas for Bulgaria

The big problem is the transportation of gas, said the chairman of the Bulgarian Energy and Mining Forum, Ivan Hinovski.

According to him, if you have enough capacity and smart managers, this problem should have been worked on.

There are 37 traders on the gas market in Bulgaria, if they could import cheaper gas, they would do it.

They could not build the gas connection in one year.

It will not be ready by the end of the year, Dobrev announced.

We must look for opportunities for reliable gas supplies.

The price of liquefied gas cannot be cheaper than the price of pipe gas.

We must resume deliveries with Gazprom until we guarantee deliveries from elsewhere, Tasko Ermenkov said.

Hinovski turned to him and said: "The Gazprom era is over.

Europe imports 150 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia.

The free capacity of gas storage facilities in Europe is 50 billion cubic meters, which means that the free capacity of the terminals will cover only 25% of what Europe needs, Dobrev explained.

According to Ramadan Atalay of the MRF

The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), a centrist political party in Bulgaria that enjoys the price of gas, will double and triple.

We need to negotiate what we do from now on.

The big question is what is happening to our national interests.

We need to start exploring our own production as soon as possible, Hinovski urged.

Ermenkov rebuked GERB

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in that they have done nothing to explore their own gas fields.

He clarified that American gas is shale.

Ivaylo Mirchev from Democratic Bulgaria

Democratic Bulgaria is a center-right political union made up of explanations that gas supplies to Chiren began two months before the coalition came to power.

At the same time last year, gas in Chiren was 10%.

So we do not accept the criticism of GERB

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party.

Dobrev added that there are many things he can say, but he does not do it because patrols will be waiting for him in front of them.

Hinovski called for lifting the moratorium on shale gas production in Bulgaria and added that our country has a chance to become energy independent.

According to him, chemicals are no longer used in this type of production.

It is important for people to have gas.

By the end of the year there will be and its price will be the same as in the last six months, Mirchev stressed.

We have hard months ahead of us, but together we will cope and together with the Bulgarian government we will go through it.

We must start looking for new energy capacities, because nothing good is waiting for us, warned Ramadan Atalay.

Bulgaria should be proud, said Ivan Hinovski.
