Galab Donev said that previous Bulgarian governments decided that allocation of money under Bulgaria's EU Recovery and Resilience Plan would be preceded by reforms on which the funds depend.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
TOTAL BS — Verdict: False
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
The evidence does not support the attribution to Galab Donev. Reliable sources show that EU Recovery and Resilience funding is generally conditional on reforms and milestones, but no source here records Donev saying previous Bulgarian governments made that decision. The only Donev-specific source cited does not report him discussing the plan’s funding conditions at all.
Caveats
Do not confuse the EU facility’s built-in payment conditions with proof that Donev made the quoted statement.
The claim hinges on a specific attribution to a named person, and no direct quote, transcript, or credible report in the cited record supports that attribution.
The phrase 'previous Bulgarian governments decided' is materially different from the documented reality that the funding framework is set by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility and plan milestones.
