The leader of "We Continue the Change", Asen Vassilev, described the selection of Rumen Spetsov as a special manager at Lukoil as a "bad joke". "Rumen Spetsov was appointed to collect taxes, not to manage a refinery. There is a requirement in the law from 2023 that the special manager must have 5 years of experience in the oil industry and asset management in this industry. I do not think that Mr. Spetsov has them, so in my opinion this is some kind of a rather bad joke by the government and not a real candidacy for a special manager", Vassilev said.
Spetsov was the director of the National Revenue Agency from May 2021 to August 2022, and from June 2023 to the present. In 2021, he headed the agency, when Asen Vassilev was the acting finance minister. According to Vassilev, after leaving the ministry, he did not maintain contact with Spetsov.
