One and a half months after a state of emergency was introduced in the country, the Bulgarian government has not yet offered a clear program for timely, accessible and gratuitous financial assistance, Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev said in a statement.
More and more public funds are being earmarked for overcoming the crisis and a huge loan is to be drawn. We must not forget that these funds will be paid by Bulgarian citizens and businesses, the Bulgarian head of state said in his position. 
President Radev has been pushing for transparency by introducing a public registry for reporting coronavirus spending. 
Also, following the model of other EU countries, the president calls for not providing assistance to offshore companies.
