The Minister of Labor and Social Policy Hasan Ademov told journalists that the state must stand behind small municipalities.
He is in the Samuil municipality, where he will meet with the students, teachers and the director of the secondary school “St. St. Cyril and Methodius“, where a class with a social services profile has been opened. "Local staff have the opportunity for professional realization", he also commented, quoted by dariknews.bg.
"Those who graduate from this class have the opportunity to receive a scholarship to continue their education at the University of Shumen. This ties together the entire cycle of providing services and providing jobs in this small municipality", explained Ademov.
He thanked his colleagues for opening this class. "It is absolutely necessary, it is a precedent throughout Bulgaria, we are working purposefully in this area". said Ademov.
The minister also commented on the upcoming election process and the violations. "We have notified the prosecutor's office of attempts at this type of violation - the use of the social system to impose a controlled vote, because the vulnerable contingent is easily susceptible to this type of influence", he said.
Ademov specified that there are many activities - hot lunches, personal assistants, etc. "A procedure is underway to renew the individual assessment of the needs of people with disabilities. It depends on the assistant support - 2 hours or 4 hours, there is an element of subjectivity there, which can be influenced by political bias", the minister explained.
According to him, the Bulgarian voter does not trust any institution, which is "the condition for wanting fair elections".
"The other task is to do everything possible to support vulnerable groups. You see what has fallen on the back of the service cabinet - the war in the Middle East, fuel - all this gives us the opportunity to work with a missing budget", he said. Ademov recalled that for Easter there will be supplements - 50 and 20 euros for the relevant groups.
According to him, there are also abuses of "European solidarity".
The Social Minister also said that according to data as of 12 noon today, there were 12,800 applications for the 20 euro compensation for fuel prices, and on the first day, 500 applications were submitted in 1 hour.
Ademov also said that Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov has held meetings with the relevant ministers and almost all industry organizations, employers, unions, and all the measures that are proposed will be summarized for them so that they can present a comprehensive package that will provide support in different scenarios.
