The president of Bulgaria will be submitted to the application of the referendum Parliament in the euro zone

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said he will submit a request to Parliament to make a referendum on the adoption of the euro as a national currency.

“Bulgaria, as a member of the total right of the European Union, faces a strategic decision: the introduction of the single European currency,” Radev said in a speech before the nation.

“The referendum will be a proof of the democracy of the National Assembly and will show who follows the principles of democracy and who is denying the Bulgarians the right to determine their future. The referendum will be healthy for Bulgarian democracy.”

The road to the Eurozone has not been easy for Bulgaria.

In 2024, the European Central Bank said the country could not join the monetary union because inflation in the country was too high.

In February of this year, Sofia’s police have faced nationalist protesters That required the government to abandon adhesion plans to the Eurozone.

Around 1000 protesters gathered in front of the headquarters of the European Commission in Sofia, the executive agency of the European Union, and fired red ink and rockets to the building, and finally burned a door.

Bulgaria, who joined the EU in 2007, has been affected by political instability in recent years.

The new government, formed last month, adhesion to the euro zone a fundamental priority.

But not everyone is convinced that Bulgaria is ready to join the Eurozone.

Some economists claim that the country does not have an acceptable level of economic conditions to join the eurozone and are not yet prepared to adopt the single currency.

But the Government, supported by other proeuropean parties in Parliament, underlines the political importance of adoption as another step to deepen European integration in a context of growing geopolitical tensions.

To try to distract the country from this objective, pro-ruse nationalists are preparing for brighter battles and supposedly have used erroneous information as an instrument to spread fear among people.
