A steering committee has started a petition for a referendum on the preservation of the Bulgarian Lev, the organizers said at a press conference at the BTA.

"We are here to prevent this national cause from being privatised by one political party. We expect support from all parties," the initiators said in response to a question whether their petition was sabotaging the petition organized by "Vazrazhdane" party.

The steering committee proposes a referendum with several questions, including the preservation of the national currency of Bulgaria and the coal-fired power stations, development of nuclear energy and banning LGBT propaganda among adolescents.
