The Presidential Bench for RIA Cadres<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another former RIA official in the presidential circle is the infamous<\/span> Deputy Minister<\/span><\/a> of Regional Development <\/span>Zahari Hristov<\/b>. It is said that Christ is<\/span>
\n supported<\/span>
\n<\/a> by the Presidential Secretary<\/a> for Domestic Policy <\/span>Nikolay Koprinkov<\/b> and that he is close to the circle around <\/span>Georgi Gergov<\/b>. Hristov was fired in 2021 by the previous caretaker government of <\/span>Stefan Yanev<\/b> and Minister <\/span>Irena Komitova<\/b>, after a road construction firm accused him of demanding a bribe of 10% to settle delayed payments. <\/span>Zahari Hristov<\/b> He again became Deputy Minister of Regional Development in the current caretaker government, appointed by President Radev in August 2022. <\/span>Rumen Radev<\/b> at the Unification celebrations in Plovdiv on September 6, 2022 (photo at the end of the text), which<\/span> appears<\/span><\/a> and the Russian Ambassador <\/span>Eleonora Mitrofanova<\/b>.
