The President reiterated his position in support of the referendum as the highest form of direct democracy. “The fact that, after 22 years of transition from a totalitarian regime to democracy, we have achieved a new level of political maturity in which it is possible to organise a referendum, is a great success for Bulgaria,” President Plevneliev underlined.
The head of state expressed confidence that the referendum would motivate more Bulgarian citizens to take a position and to defend it. “My wish is that this is not the last referendum during my term in office,” President Plevneliev told journalists.
