GERB party will not support changing Bulgaria's national holiday from March 3 to May 24. It will not be in the Constitution, GERB leader Boyko Borissov commented in parliament. "And it is not because we are not in favour of May 24, but the holidays in Bulgaria should not be contested because both March 3 and May 24, the Unification Day too are extremely bright holidays to become a reason for argument, discord or politics," he explained Borisov.
"The priorities without which the parliamentary session cannot end are the Constitution and two or three laws under the Recovery and Sustainability Plan," added Borissov.
