Business closures are a cause for greater concern among Bulgarians than the health emergency itself, indicates an analysis of Gallup International sociological agency, which is to be presented today at an online discussion themed “Covid-19-where do we go from here”.

 Concerns about the future reached the levels registered at the end of 2012, which had triggered civil protests back then. In other words, the concerns about the economy and the personal finance are slightly explosive and may lead to certain negative voting against the parties in the current government, Parvan Simeonov, Executive Director of Gallup International commented in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio.  

Gallup’s survey was commissioned by MEP Tsvetelina Penkova.
