Hristo Hinkov announced that on Thursday

Hristo Hinkov is to step down as Healthcare Minister after the rotation of prime ministers in Bulgaria's  cabinet in March.

According to him, the case of Pirogov Emergency Hospital was the last straw. Hinkov fired the director of Pirogov, Valentin Dimitrov, for financial abuse following the results of an audit report. The court however temporarily suspended the dismissal.
