"The pandemic requires decisive measures and society has accepted them with understanding," President Rumen Radev said in a statement regarding the situation in the country caused by Covid-19. He pointed out that extraordinary restrictions have slowed the disease but have led to social paralysis and triggered an unprecedented social and economic crisis.

Unemployment is rising fast and hunger can soon outweigh fear, President Radev warned. "When the state imposes restrictions, it must offer adequate compensation to both workers and businesses," the President added. He pointed out the need for urgent review of some provisions of the adopted emergency law that block economic life.
