Recitation Notes:

Mariya Yordanova – Member of Parliament / Sameer Sinha
Age: 48

• Background: A seasoned MP representing Sofia, Mariya is part of a centrist, anti-corruption
  opposition party and has a background in law. She is very concerned about unlawful use of public
  funds, which has had a sordid history in Bulgarian politics. She is an advocate for transparent
  governance and equitable distribution of public funds. Mariya often challenges large-scale
  projects, fearing corruption and financial mismanagement.

• Viewpoint: "While the Olympics could bring opportunities, I fear the lack of transparency could
  lead to wasted resources and public debt. We must scrutinize every aspect of the bidding process
  to ensure it benefits the people."
