Hotel operators and Ukrainians organized the latest in a string of protests in the resort of Sunny Beach – this time with the question: Where will the refugees go after they have been forced to leave the hotels which closed doors at the beginning of November?
Elderly women, who took part in the protest, said they would be left in the street and did not know what to do. Under the latest decree by the caretaker cabinet, hotel operators are not allowed to register and take in incoming refugees after 1 November, and if they do they will not be paid anything for them.
The problem of feeding the refugees from Ukraine continues, as the government discontinued the funding for food. Hotel keepers are asking the refugees to pay 5 Leva (EUR 2.55) a day, but most of them cannot afford even that.
