A curious story.

In the background of all the problems with the increase in the price of water and its limitation as a resource, we meet you with a woman who has not paid her water bills for 19 years.

She already owes nearly 17,000 BGN and claims that she has no way to cover her expenses, as she is socially weak. 

The 43-year-old woman is a single mother and lives in a municipal apartment in the Mladost area.

The municipality issued an order to remove her from the apartment.

Despite her and the cases she lost, the mother refuses to leave her home.

She has lived there since 1983.

At that time, she was accommodated in the apartment with her parents, her grandmother and her two sisters.

"It is extremely difficult for us to live on social assistance of BGN 263 per month," says the single mother.

She says that she took care of her sick father and her 14-year-old child. 

The mayor of the Varna district "Mladost" Hristo Hristov explained to the NOVA camera that the bills that the tenant accumulates are paid by the municipality.

However, her version is different: "The apartment was promised to someone - I say it directly.

Mr. Hristov is giving out apartments to businessmen in Mladost quarter, the woman claims.

The regional town hall categorically rejected the accusations.
