This was announced by Georgi Kadiev, deputy chair of the economic commission in the Sofia Municipal Council during the conference on the yearly report of the press center for Democracy Research.

According to his forecasts, the economic crisis might further develop the tendency of hiding and non-payment of taxes, especially of excise duty.

As a conclusion to the meeting the participants announced that corruption in Bulgaria is spread from tax and customs inspectors to the highest levels of authority.

According to the municipal advisor Dimitar Bachvarov, this year's report is the most analytical and gives the most precise data of all, presented up to now.

Bachvarov sharply criticized the absence of most representatives of the cabinet and in particular the Justice Minister, as well as representatives of the Presidency.

Why are the most important ministers from the cabinet, responsible for the suspension of the EU funds, absent, he asked rhetorically.

Crime without punishment, which means that all Bulgarians, who follow the law and pay their taxes, are being punished. That is why our children leave Bulgaria, the municipal advisor was emphatic.
