The damages caused by the 5.8-6.0-magnitude earthquake in the Bulgarian capital Sofia are estimated at BGN 1.3 M, announced Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova.
Almost a week after the earthquake that jolted Western Bulgaria on May 22, 2012, Fandakova said the Sofia Municipality has completed its report on the damages on its territory.
Thus, the municipality will ask the ad hoc inter-departmental commission formed by the Cabinet for BGN 1.3 M (over EUR 600 000).
"We enjoy great cooperation with our colleagues from the Interior Ministry. We are continuing to analyze the damages in detail. The commission will be allocating money for damages to any buildings that have all the necessary legal papers," Fandakova explained.
The western Bulgarian city of Pernik located some 20 km southwest of Sofia, which was closer to the earthquake epicenter than the capital, has suffered damages worth at least BGN 20 M, its mayor announced over the weekend.

I am very upset of how everyone is ignoring the damages from the earthquake that were done to the city of PERNIK! Way more than the ones in Sofia, with over 10 million thus far. I get that it is not a big city, but it is the home of nearly 100K people and Pernik is much closer to the epicenter of the earthquake! However, we live in an ignorant and corrupted country! Everyone is focused on Sofia and have wiped out Pernik completely from every news story! I am ashamed of the government of Bulgaria. They wouldn't even help their own people, the ones who they were previously soliciting to get their votes. Now that there is no elections, its easier for the government just to ignore the minority. This, makes me sick! Bulgaria is a beautiful country, with lovely and nice residents, but the leaders suck big time and only rob the country at this point!
