Before 14 July, France’s national day, the French ambassador to Bulgaria Florence Robine made a donation of special medical equipment and medical beds to the hospital in Harmanli, and wheelchairs and walking aids to the social services.

“This is how the French state expresses solidarity with Bulgaria during the Covid-19 epidemic,” Ambassador Robine said. “Solidarity and brotherhood are fundamental values for the French republic. I am happy to be here, in Harmanli because Bulgaria is more than Sofia, just as France is more than Paris. I believe that we must work with individual towns so as to alleviate suffering in the world we live in,” Ambassador Robine said.
