Sofia's mayor, Vasil Terziev, got his municipal restructuring plan rejected for the second time after city council members from everyone except PP-DB and Save Sofia voted against it or abstained. The proposal wanted to add a deputy mayor position focused on urban planning plus create specialized units for internal auditing, anti-corruption work and strategic communications.
Terziev told reporters he will submit the thing again with more data showing how other Bulgarian municipalities handle their structure after the report got shot down without much debate. The mayor expects chief architect Bogdana Panayotova to quit when her sick leave ends mid-December, since they have massive disagreements about how the architecture department should function, and he wants to kill off what he calls feudal kingdoms where departments operate like independent islands instead of working together as one body.
