The President of the Republic of Bulgaria Rumen Radev has congratulated all Bulgarians at home and around the world on the arrival of the New Year 2025 and wished them peace, health and prosperity.
"The world is sending off a year full of risks. Wars are intensifying. Democracy is going through a difficult period and new tests are looming on the horizon. Peace, stability, freedom, fair elections, which until recently seemed guaranteed in Europe, are in question today," the President pointed out in his speech.
He said that the parliamentary elections in this country also did not provide a strategic perspective for a way out of the political crisis. "Crises teach us that the future depends on our joint efforts, on the active position of each of us in life and political choices. Without the participation and control of citizens, statehood weakens… Our enormous potential as a nation remains untapped and our future becomes hostage to oligarchic and coterie interests. It is time to seek a way out of political weakness, corruption and uncertainty together,” the head of state emphasized.
He expressed gratitude to the thousands of compatriots - scientists, engineers, artists and enlighteners, the Bulgarian Olympic competitors, who with spirit, will and hard work are writing new pages in the history of Bulgaria. “I believe that we have the talent and will to affirm Bulgaria as a strong, sovereign and prosperous country on the map of Europe,” Radev said.
“May all worthy undertakings be blessed and may the new year bring joy and light to everyone. Let us step into it with pure thoughts and emerge from it with our heads held high as people and as Bulgarians. Happy New Year 2025!” the Bulgarian president said.
