There is no social breakdown in Bulgaria due to Covid-19

“Just as health-wise there is no peak in the prevalence of coronavirus, there is no major social breakdown either,” said Boriana Dimitrova from Alpha Research agency for the BNR.

Bulgaria is not in the eye of the storm, health-wise or socially, what it is going through is less severe. There is a loss of incomes, there is concern but there is no breakdown. The desire to ease the measures is not leading to a drop of confidence in the executive branch, the sociologist says. Boriana Dimitrova adds that businesses are extremely mobilized for a restart but that being an open economy, Bulgaria cannot cope with the crisis by itself, without the recovery of the other EU countries.
