On the occasion of May 1 - Labour Day, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev wrote on Facebook that it is "the duty of all institutions to respect and protect the results of the work of Bulgarians and not to waste them".

"Regular working hours, health insurance, paid leave and pensions are today rights won at the cost of many sacrifices. Their quality and compliance are an indicator of the maturity of our society. Our common task is to defend the cause of social justice, so that Bulgarians can confidently plan and build their future in their own country," the president wrote.

According to Radev, social inequalities in the country have exacerbated due to the crises of recent years and the consequences of the war in Ukraine.
