The European Commission has asked Bulgaria’s Minister of Education Galin Tsokov for further information regarding the law, adopted by parliament, banning LGBTQ+ “propaganda” in Bulgarian schools. Minister Tsokov has two weeks to respond, a European Commission spokesperson said, after which the Commission “will analyse whether the legislation is aligned with EU law.” A letter to Minister of Education Galin Tsokov on the matter was sent by European Commissioner for Equality, Helena Dalli on 13 August. At the beginning of August, in two readings on the same day, the Bulgarian National Assembly approved amendments to the pre-school and school education act, submitted by the nationalist Vazrazhdane party.
The EC is the second European institution to have reacted to the new texts. A week ago Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe Michael O'Flaherty urged President Rumen Radev to veto the law, but it was promulgated on 15 August.
