Representatives of Greenpeace, Bulgaria handed Sofia mayor Yordanka Fandakova a petition, signed by members of the public, demanding cleaner air in Sofia.
Greenpeace presented seven specific solutions which, the organization says, will ensure a lasting effect on air quality. The environmentalists also gave Mayor Fandakova a Christmas present – a snow globe filled with filthy air from Sofia. In their words, the fact that on 28 November the Bulgarian capital city was the city with the filthiest air in the whole world clearly shows that the problem is being neglected. Mayor Fandakova invited the environmentalists to a meeting in the first days of 2021, BGNES reports.
