In an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio this country’s Vice President Iliana Yotova criticized the EU’s reaction and lack of leadership in the fight against the new coronavirus. In Iliana Yotova’s words, collective measures had to be taken at the outset, especially along the external borders of the Union. This could have prevented the current problems with the transport corridors, but each country was left to its own rescue instead, Iliana Yotova said. The EU funds are not used adequately to counteract the slump of the economy, Vice President Yotova also contends. Much faster and correct measures have been taken in Bulgaria and we got ahead of countries like France, Germany and Spain. Bulgaria’s National Plan worked much faster, Iliana Yotova further commented.
