The main topic of today's press in Bulgaria is the victory of candidate for president of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev, supported by the Bulgarian Socialist Party. "New president, new elections" is the headline of "24 Hours". "After losing the presidential elections and after the second Borissov cabinet resigns, parliamentary elections will probably take place in spring," the article reads. "Borissov keeps his promise and resigns. GERB and BSP refuse mandate for forming a new government in current National Assembly," Monitor writes. "Humiliating defeat for Boyko Borisov and his candidate Tsetska Tsacheva, bring to an end the 10-year electoral hegemony of GERB," Zemya writes. "The army general crushes the party secretary," reads a headline in "Trud" referring to the election results. "Radev becomes president, the state - on autopilot," Standard writes and quotes the winner as saying that democracy overcame fear and apathy. “Landslide victory of Rumen Radev shakes up political layers,” Sega writes. "The president-elect wins in all respects - in big cities and among young people,” Duma informs.
"Strong election activity abroad, but without long queues," 24 hours writes. "Election activity during the second round of elections in Germany and Greece was higher than that during the first round. However, there was no tension, it was reported. There were larger queues in Turkey and the UK, but there was no tension there too.”
"Bulgaria's GDP will mark a 3.3 percent rise this year, according to the latest adjusted forecast by the IMF, Capital writes. "Real estate sales rise by 11 percent. About 15% of deals in Sofia total over 100,000 euros," Monitor informs.
"1200 migrant workers to get solid unemployment benefits," Monitor writes, quoting data by the National Social Security Institute and adds that those who worked abroad for higher salaries receive 4 times the usual unemployment compensations in Bulgaria.
Some 60% of university graduates in Bulgaria work at positions, requiring secondary education. "If urgent measures related to the labor market and education were not taken, in 5 years the results could be catastrophic," said in an interview for Sega, expert from the Bulgarian Industrial Association, Tomcho Tomov.
