The National Recovery and Resilience Plan needs to be changed, the President of the Confederation of Labour "Podkrepa" Dimitar Manolov said at the 11th Congress of the trade union. In his words, the requirement for 40% decrease of emissions should be scrapped. The long-standing efforts to preserve the country's coal-fired power plants will continue. “We all want to live in a clean nature and breathe fresh mountain air, but we must stay alive first, as there is no life without energy”, Dimitar Manolov said.

The trade unions will join the talks with the European Commission to renegotiate the energy chapter of the Recovery and Resilience Plan, caretaker Premier Galab Donev said in his address to the congress of the Confederation of Labour "Podkrepa".
