Talking to the Bulgarian National Radio, President Rumen Radev responded to the appeal for a political dialogue made earlier by the President of the National Assembly Tsveta Karayancheva.

“The time when they should have conducted a dialogue with the people has run out.  They looked down with arrogance, without reacting to their needs, now it is too late for dialogue. People no longer want it,” said President Radev in the town of Levski, where he attended the firework display and solemn roll call ceremony on the occasion of the 183rd birth anniversary of the Apostle of Freedom, Vasil Levski, and the celebrations of the day of the town of Levski.

Asked how long the protests will go on for, the president answered: “Until those who have to go fall from power.”
