Who will pay the bill?

Those who visit Bulgaria are amazed to see streets full of modern cars and restaurants packed with contented people, the daily Dnevnik writes. But this is just a façade. "Bulgaria is living on credit: the newborn and those who have not even been born yet are the ones who will pay for all this. ... They will have to pay the price for their parents not having constructed energy-saving buildings, not investing in public transport and building thermal power stations instead of investing in renewable energies. ... And they will also have to pay more for electricity and heat. Those who own thermal power stations, import fuel from Russia and sell gas and electricity here will continue to be content with their incomes in the future. They will continue to corrupt the state with privatisation deals and targeted tax relief. ... The greater the need for us to integrate into the EU becomes, the further we move away from it."
