A protest against renewable energy sources was held in central Varna. The discontent was caused by the attempt of the Center for the Study of Democracy to put the draft law on renewable energy sources in marine areas on the agenda again with a round table, which was subsequently canceled.
"We strongly oppose the construction of offshore wind farms in the Black Sea. We have expressed our motives on numerous occasions", said Emil Milev, chairman of Chernomorski Izgrev Association. "The round table, which was due to be held at a hotel in Varna, will be online", Emil Milev told journalists during the protest and added: "There will be no fishing left in the Black Sea, there will be no tourism left for us, and there will be no restaurant industry left in Bulgaria." Emil Milev clarified that they would support the construction of renewable energy sources only if they are built at a depth of more than 100 meters, which will not impede fishing, and if the servitude area is not wider than 1 mile.
