Via novinite.com: Bulgaria Health Minister Resigns over Prosecutor’s Charges. Excerpt:
Bulgaria’s Health Minister, Bozhidar Nanev, announced Tuesday he is resigning from his post over official charges from the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office.
In a declaration to the media, Nanev states that all charges are unfounded and the two contracts for the supply of anti-viral flu medicine he signed had been the only possibility to timely provide the needed cure during the swine-flu epidemic in the country.
“I hope that very soon the truth will be revealed and this case will not leave a stain on my name, the name of the GERB party cabinet, and the one of the Prime Minister, who trusted me to take over the Health Ministry,” the declaration reads.
