“May the New Year bring health and prosperity to every Bulgarian home!”, President Rumen Radev pointed out in his New Year’s address and added that the year 2024 will bring new opportunities and hopes.
Here is the entire address of the head of state for the new year 2024:
“Dear compatriots,
We are minutes away from the New Year 2024. It will bring new opportunities and hopes, it will confront us with important decisions – for us, for our loved ones, for Bulgaria.
Together with the whole world, we Bulgarians wish the new year to be peaceful and more prosperous than the one we are sending – fractured and torn between creation and the worry that the arrows of history are turning back. A year of intensifying military conflicts, devaluation of human life, of crises and economic uncertaintyaffected every Bulgarian home, an unprecedented collapse of confidence in the state.
Therefore, we must not forget that the prosperity of a nation is measured above all by its moral foundations, enlightenment and courage, without which material prosperity is also impossible. The rise of Bulgaria is impossible in an atmosphere of division and war with national symbols and historical memory.
We cannot develop as a free European democracy with amnesia and political hypocrisy, with corruption and impunity, with censorship and apathy, with the degradation of national sovereignty and denial of dignity.
We need unity and leadership to strengthen statehood, sovereignty and legality; to preserve the peace and guarantee the security of every Bulgarian citizen; to raise education, science and culture to a real priority; to take irreversibly to tomorrow, to our European future, to modernization and accelerated growth of the economy and incomes.
In its thousand-year history, our people have overcome all kinds of trials, have always found the way to freedom and progress, have left a bright mark on the cultural development of Europe and an example of enlightened statesmanship. Together we have the strength to deal with today’s challenges, to be more ambitious, to dream bolder, to achieve more.
Dear compatriots,
Warmed by the warmth of home comfort and the love of loved ones, in the bright Christmas and New Year holidays, we remember that the invisible bridges of spirit and kindness are more durable than those built by human hands. Our people have always followed the right path – that of humanity, empathy and mutual respect. While we fill the glasses, let us not forget those who rely on our support. Let’s also pay tribute to the duty teams who welcome the holiday at their workplace and post.
Although we are different in age, profession and beliefs, wherever we are in the world, we will always be connected by the invisible thread of the Bulgarian spirit, our national holidays and traditions, the native tribagrenik – a symbol of our unity and sovereignty and the hope for a prosperous and dignified Bulgaria .
Our roots, our home and our responsibility remain here. Under the glow of festive fireworks, let us wish to make it so that the children of Bulgaria do not look for happiness somewhere far away, but find it in the Motherland, which guarantees their rights and opens opportunities for them to develop their talent. To be worthy of Bulgaria, in which future generations will be able to live fully and peacefully.
May the New Year bring health and prosperity to every Bulgarian home!
Happy New Year 2024!”
