Bulgaria needs to establish headquarters which has to work on the policy aimed at exiting the severe social and economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this country’s Vice President Iliana Yotova said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Television. In her view, the 60/40 wage support scheme announced by the Bulgarian government is not effective enough against the rising unemployment. “We neither have a strategy, nor tactics, nor public debate on the measures aimed to exit the crisis”, Vice President Yotova said.

Iliana Yotova also reminded that several days ago President Rumen Radev called for the introduction of a public registry for reporting the funds spent on the fight against the coronavirus.
