"There is social tension in all sectors. People are getting poorer every day and if this process is not curbed, social tension will turn into a bomb," Todor Kapitanov, vice president of the largest national trade union - CITUB, has told BNR.

He pointed out that if prices of essential goods are taken into account, the personal inflation of every working person is about 50%. In such a situation, it is "inevitable that incomes should be raised in every sphere," he said.

Kapitanov pointed out that the demands for holding negotiations on raising incomes have been voiced both at meetings with the caretaker government and at the meetings between CITUB and representatives of the parties that will participate in the early elections.
