The level of distrust in Bulgarian media is very high, but it is even higher among vulnerable groups. This is the main conclusion of the project "Media Independence and Access to Information in Relation to Covid-19 in Bulgaria", which focused on minorities, people in prison and residents of social homes.

According to Dimitrina Petrova of the Bulgarian Community for Liberal Democracy, it shows that media were confusing and their position was not distanced. "The topic of injustice must be separated from the news about lack of vaccines and from fake news," she said. "The lack of justice and morality in the vaccination process is not commented on, although Bulgaria’s vaccination plan has allowed the most vulnerable people to die and get seriously ill - the elderly and those with certain chronic diseases," Dimitrina Petrova adds.
