Branch organizations of owners of food and drink establishments in Bulgaria are considering the possibility to launch protests due to the closure of night clubs and discos. 120,000 people employed in this sector may become jobless and remain without incomes amid the coronavirus crisis, if a decision of compromise is not reached with the competent authorities. The representatives of this business remind that enhanced inspections in recent days proved that there are no significant violations. The Association of Restaurants in Bulgaria announced that they are to demand the resignations of town mayors who signed the closure orders, BTA informs.

After the second closure, some night clubs will no longer open doors either because of the economic impact of the covornavirus pandemic on their business or the lack of security, Emil Kozhuharov from the Association of Restaurants in Bulgaria said.
