One-third of all trade union leaders within the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions In Bulgaria (CITUB) are expecting serious cabinet reshuffle and possibly a new premier of this country, a survey of CITUB among its members shows. According to another one-third of the respondents, the cabinet must resign and early Parliamentary elections must be held in Bulgaria. The rest of the CITUB leaders contend that changes are not needed at this point, the President of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions In Bulgaria Plamen Dimitrov told Nova TV. People think they have reason to protest. The main motif is corruption and the lack of justice. However, corruption exists in other countries as well. People are expecting higher incomes and want Bulgaria to become a better place to live, Plamen Dimitrov concluded.
