An agreement for a smooth energy transition will be signed between the government and the trade unions by the end of September, Bulgaria’s Premier Nikolay Denkov announced after a meeting with protesting miners and power plant workers that lasted more than two and a half hours. The state's commitment to the mines and the coal-fired power plants will be set out in the document.
The agreement should guarantee employment in the sector until 2038. A state-owned enterprise will be set up by October 15, so that the redundant miners and power plant workers are re-employed under the same working conditions. The two largest trade unions in the country – the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria and the Confederation of Labor "Podkrepa" want the parties in parliament to become a guarantor for the implementation of the agreement.
