Bulgaria needs to establish headquarters which has to work on the policy aimed at exiting the severe social and economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this country’s Vice President Iliana Yotova said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Television. In her view, the 60/40 wage support scheme announced by the Bulgarian government is not effective enough against the rising unemployment. “We neither have a strategy, nor tactics, nor public debate on the measures aimed to exit the crisis”, Vice President Yotova said.
