The real story behind the Osogovo wind park—and why sustainable energy must not become a hostage to Facebook manipulations and political insinuations.

Just days after “birds-for-euros” watchdog Toma Belev launched another manipulative campaign via Facebook against a major investor in Bulgaria, Mediapool—the outlet that initially shared his claims—was forced to publish a right of reply from the affected party.

Here is the truth about the supposedly „scandalous“ wind park near Kyustendil:

In response to the article titled “Rositsa Kirova (GERB) Wants to Build Eiffel-Tower-Height Wind Turbines Near Kyustendil,” we are publishing the official statement from the investor Venti Group, solely owned by Rositsa Kirova, Member of Parliament from GERB:

“Bulgarian businesses have often been portrayed as ecological invaders. This narrative keeps us trapped in a vicious cycle of stagnation when it comes to road construction and the development of green energy. Who benefits from sabotaging renewable energy initiatives?”

The wind park project in the Osogovo mountain range sparked public outcry before any facts about its implementation were even made public.
