130 people are being removed from illegal nursing homes in Bulgaria's coastal city Varna. On the evening of Monday, June 9, the third action against illegal nursing homes was carried out, Social Borislav Gutsanov and Justice Minister Georgi Georgiev announced at a briefing in Varna.

Three facilities for the care of senior citizens were inspected last night in Varna. The first was in a tragic state - rooms for perversions, monstrous phenomena. This is not normal, Gutsanov commented.

The Social Minister was categorical that the issue of such a type of "service" must be resolved once and for all. We will not stop until the last illegal "home" is established, the minister promised. 

Justice Minister Georgi Georgiev promised legal measures against unlicensed nursing homes, BTA reported.
