The Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union (PGEU) has sent a letter to the prime minister, the prosecutor general and the ombudsman of Bulgaria, demanding that the Bulgarian authorities drop the charges of panic-mongering brought against Prof. Asena Stoimenova, chair of the Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union. The charges were brought against her after she warned of possible shortages of medicines because of the coronavirus pandemic in interviews for Bulgarian National Radio and Bulgarian National TV. The PGEU writes that the EU’s ongoing initiatives show that such a risk does exist or at least is not to be ruled out.
