Vice President Iliana Yotova commented that during the election campaign, there is a lack of debate on important topics for the country, such as security, the economy, culture and education, BNT reported.
She expressed hope that in the days remaining until the elections, citizens will hear more ideas and proposals for the kind of Bulgaria we want. According to her, this campaign is very different from the ones we have seen so far.
"Unfortunately, in the days when we are in a double campaign, as you can see, there is no talk of culture at all. No one considers it important to have a special debate about culture, about what lies ahead for Bulgarian education. Yes, there is news. Unfortunately not good ones. It had to go on strike for university professors to get more or less normal salaries. I say more or less because it is obvious that the funds that were allocated are not enough. We cannot say that Bulgarian education and culture are a priority, but that there should be the lowest budget for these institutions," Yotova said.
