Bulgaria’s National Assembly rejected President Rumen Radev’s veto on amendments to the VAT Act. The amendments introduce new provisions to the Consumer Loans Act which Bulgaria’s head of state Radev called “inadmissible” and “legally intolerable”.

The proposal was submitted by the independent MP Spas Panchev. The Bulgarian Socialist Party called the adopted amendment “social genocide, BNR reporter Daniel Inkov reports.”
