The two largest trade unions in Bulgaria, the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labor "Podkrepa" are to stage a protest today in front of the National Assembly building. The two labor unions are to protest against the country‘s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions of the power sector by 40% by the end of 2025, compared to the 2019 levels, as envisaged in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The protesters insist that the parliament obliges the Council of Ministers to start negotiations with the European Commission to cancel this commitment. They also insist that Bulgaria’s National Assembly ensures that the coal-fired power plants continue operating at least until 2038, in accordance with the decision adopted in 2020. Representatives of coal mining companies and thermal power plants are expected to participate at the protest.
