This was announced in the Bulgarian parliament by the deputy chairman of the party, Stanislav Anastasov, who proposed amendments to the Investment Promotion Act. They provide for the establishment of an Interdepartmental Council to the Minister of Innovation, on the case.

"The project is particularly important because the trends to increase the global scale of malicious investments, mainly Russian, with corrosive capitals, especially in the context of the unprovoked Russian aggression in Ukraine.
