Freedom of movement in the EU is a right that Bulgarian citizens have, President Rumen Radev has pointed out. This was his comment on the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, who said in an interview he preferred to have legal migrants from Guinea or Ivory Coast in France, rather than clandestine networks of Bulgarians and Ukrainians.
According to President Radev, it was inappropriate and inadmissible in European policy to affix national labels.
