Bulgarian trade unions have expressed strong opposition to the decision to separate Mini Maritsa-iztok (Mini Maritsa East) and TETS Maritsa Iztok 2 (Maritsa East 2 Power Plant) from the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH). The “Podkrepa” labor federation and the Independent Miners’ Union Federation to the CNSS jointly issued a statement criticizing the move. Details of their specific concerns were not immediately available in the provided text, but the unions clearly view the restructuring negatively. The two entities, Mini Maritsa-iztok and TETS Maritsa Iztok 2, are significant components of Bulgaria’s energy infrastructure, focused on coal mining and power generation. This separation raises questions about the future operation and potential impact on employment within the energy sector. The unions’ reaction suggests potential for labor unrest or further negotiations regarding the restructuring process. Further reporting will be needed to understand the full scope of the unions’ objections.
