The upcoming election campaign must be a campaign of ideas and principles, of a vision for taking Bulgaria out of this deep crisis, not a campaign of compromising materials, Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev stated today.
The head of state participated at the ceremony of pruning the vines at the vineyards of the Institute of Vine Growing and Enology based in Pleven.
Radev added the protests of Bulgarians were an expected result of the politics and actions of the prime minister. Bulgarians have been protesting in front of the Council of Minister of months, but there seems to be no one there to hear them, he added.
