The Municipality of Plovdiv plans to buy back the Roman Forum of Philippopolis at a price almost four times higher than the one it got when it sold it in 2003.
The local government has voted to pay 4.3 million leva (2.15 million euro) for the architectural site. In 2003 the Roman Forum was sold to Mladost Alpha Company based in Sofia for 1.2 million leva (600,000 euro).
The Bulgarian Socialist Party termed the deal plunder. The party plans to refer the deal to the Prosecutors Office. In turn the Municipality of Plovdiv has pointed to the difference in prices today compared to 2003.
