The initiative committee supported by the Vazrazhdane party, submitted 590,000 signatures to the Bulgarian parliament for the poll on whether the Bulgarian lev should be the only official currency in Bulgaria until 2043, BTA reported. 

The aim is that in the autumn, together with the local elections, the Bulgarian citizens could for the first time vote on the future of the Bulgarian lev. 

According to the leader of Vazrazhdane, Kostadin Kostadinov, the destruction of the Bulgarian lev will lead to the melting of the savings of Bulgarian citizens, devaluation of incomes and will liquidate the financial independence of Bulgaria.
