“In the pantheon of Bulgarian freedom there are many names, but in the national memory Levski is incomparable. Few are loved as strongly and unconditionally as Levski. Perhaps because the Bulgarian people needed its Apostle of Freedom not only in the years of slavery. Bulgarians need him no less today - a century and a half after his hanging”, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev said in Sofia.

"We keep a notebook, short letters and a lock of hair from Levski, but the Apostle is the only judge before whom all Bulgarians feel equal. He not only continues to point out our wrongdoings, prick our conscience and disturb our indifference, but also continues to point the way towards that republic which remains a dream for generations of Bulgarians", Rumen Radev said at the opening of the multimedia digital exhibition "The Apostle's Confession" at the Square 500 National Gallery.
