The biggest police syndicate in Bulgaria has set up a tent and arranged an exhibition in front of the National Assembly building as a form of protest. The syndicate demands a 30% pay rise in the system of the Ministry of Interior. 

The photos displayed at the exhibition depict situations proving that Bulgaria’s Police officers are also at the frontline against Covid-19, Deputy Chairman of the syndicate Ilia Kuzmanov explained. He called the plans of the authorities to increase wages of Bulgaria’s Police at the expense of the budget for child allowances “a provocation and insinuation”. Pay rise in our sector can happen without making other citizens suffer, Ilia Kuzmanov contends.

The syndicate contends that if protests do not yield the necessary results until Friday, the Police will launch a nationwide protest, BTA informs.
