Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev called for zero tolerance to violence in Bulgaria in a speech delivered at St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia that focused on violence in daily life. According to statistics the Bulgarian society has been increasingly faced with violence – at home, in schools, online and at the workplace, in the street, on the road, with women and children being the most vulnerable groups. Last year about 1400 signals were checked about violence against children, President Rosen Plevneliev said. In 2015 alone violence against children and between children in Bulgaria grew 20%.
