煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　6月10日，保加利亞政府警告說，如果煙農開始進行大規模的抗議活動，政府可能重新考慮是否給煙農提供1.16億保加利亞列弗的國家補貼。

　　6月9日，一些煙農說，1.16億列弗不足以補貼他們的生產，并威脅說，如果他們得不到至少1.7億列弗的話，就舉行大規模的抗議，甚至舉行絕食罷工。

　　發出警告的是國會農業委員會主席Desislava Taneva，他將煙農們提出的獲得1.7億列弗的要求描述為荒謬可笑，而且極有可能是有政治目的的。

　　與此同時，保加利亞農業部長Miroslav Naydenov要求反對黨以更大的責任感行事，幫助防止抗議活動。

　　反對黨權利與自由運動黨否認自己是煙農不滿背后的推手。

　　它說，1.16億列弗的金額是最大的補貼金額了，但它補充說，更新后的預算沒有明確將這個金額列為提供給煙農的資金。

Subsidy row reignites in Bulgaria

　　Bulgaria's government yesterday warned that if tobacco growers begin mass protests it might reconsider the question of whether or not it should grant them BGN116 million in state subsidies.

　　On Wednesday, a group of tobacco growers had said that the BGN116 million would not be enough to subsidize their production and threatened mass protests and even hunger strikes if they did not get at least BGN170 million.

　　The warning came from the chairperson of the Parliamentary Agriculture Committee, Desislava Taneva, who described the tobacco growers' demands for BGN170 million as absurd and, most likely, politically motivated.

　　The Agriculture Minister, Miroslav Naydenov, meanwhile, asked the opposition to act with more responsibility by helping to prevent protests.

　　The opposition Movement for Rights and Freedoms party denied being behind the farmers' discontent.

　　It said the amount of BGN116 million was the maximum, but it added that the updated budget had not listed it specifically as funding to be given to tobacco growers.
