Former colleagues of Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev have organised a protest in front of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. They call for reinstating the expert who has recently been sent in retirement.

A petition has been uploaded on the website of the center. It is open to anyone who wants to support it, organizers said. In addition to the online petition, signatures are also collected at the entrance of the institution. "His retirement was very unexpected as he is not an ordinary official but a prominent scientist and leader who cannot be easily replaced,” Iskra Raynova, Deputy Director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, has told the BNR's Horizont program.
