The Varna Finance Commission recently rejected a proposal to allocate 114,000 euros for a New Year’s Eve concert featuring Marty Cintron, citing concerns regarding transparency and performer fees. While the commission approved other expenditures—including 194,000 euros for a maternity hospital’s debts, support for couples facing reproductive challenges, and funding for city transport and a photovoltaic power plant—the city’s broader budget remains unadopted.

As a result, the Varna Municipal Council is scheduled to meet to address various funding needs for education, culture, sports, and social activities. Agenda items include business programs for medical facilities, the construction of a photovoltaic power plant for Varna City Transport, and the adoption of a 2026–2030 education strategy.
