On occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Communism, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev wrote in his official Facebook profile that "the painful divisions in the Bulgarian society can be overcome if we speak the whole truth and avoid trading the past". Today we mark the Day of Remembrance to the Victims of the Communist Regime. There are many open wounds and pages in the Bulgarian history, Bulgaria’s head of state further notes. In 2011 Boyko Borissov’s cabinet decided that the memory of the victims of the communist regime would be marked on February 1 at the proposal of former Presidents Zhelyu Zhelev and Petar Stoyanov.
