Bulgaria's ombudsman Diana Kovacheva insists that the compensations for the household consumers of natural gas be increased. In a letter to the ministers of finance and energy Assen Vassilev and Alexander Nikolov, she informs that citizens feel dissatisfied with the small compensations, which are incommensurable with the unprecedented increase in the prices of the blue fuel.

Diana Kovacheva reminds that household customers of natural gas are the only ones left unprotected by the moratorium on electricity, heat and drinking water prices, which was introduced by the National Assembly at the end of last year.
