The event kickstarted in Brussels with Bulgaria being represented by Plamen Dimitrov, President of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB). The campaign aims to unite demands by the trade unions throughout Europe for a rise in salaries. According to data provided by Plamen Dimitrov, the minimum monthly salary in Bulgaria of 235 euro is the lowest in the EU.
