And at this very second in our nation, the Nationwide Meeting is debating whether or not to cancel the referendums or whether or not they need to be held on unimportant subjects.

However the thought of altering the nationwide vacation is a subject that’s necessary for the Bulgarian folks and that can not be determined from at present to tomorrow with out asking the residents”, believes Vitanov, who’s a part of the Initiative Committee to protect March 3 as nationwide vacation of Bulgaria. “I hope that the rulers weren’t frightened by the particular opinion of the Bulgarians (70 p.c in keeping with the newest polls) that their nationwide vacation shouldn’t be modified,” he added.

The import of grain can also be prohibited with them, as a result of they clearly put the pursuits of their farmers first. It sounds unusual and inexplicable that the Minister of Agriculture was not even requested concerning the topic, and the choice was made on fireplace. That is one other risk not solely to Bulgarian agriculture, but additionally to the residents, as a result of in Ukraine there are decrease high quality requirements in comparison with European ones, in addition to elevated ranges of radiation because of the struggle”, commented the MEP.

“It is a good sign for our nation, however the resistance of two nations – the Netherlands and Austria – continues to be on the agenda. They refuse to just accept the arguments of the European Parliament and the opposite member states. I hope that the ruling coalition will do its job to the tip and we could have a profitable last end result. Let me remind you that the so-called “meeting” was created exactly for this goal,” added the top of the Delegation of Bulgarian Socialists within the EP.
