Vice President Iliana Iotova called on politicians not to turn the Netherlands decision to block Bulgaria for Schengen into an argument for new internal political clashes.

"I think that the best and most definitive reaction was made by President Radev and the definition he gave of a cynical attitude in one word expresses the characteristics of this situation", said Iliana Iotova.

 In her words, the Netherlands has made the best Christmas present to all Eurosceptics, populist parties in Europe and those who do not want a strong Europe. “Through its decision, the Netherlands tolerates double standards in Europe, which is not at the basis of the European Union's creation. Not to mention values such as solidarity, compassion, mutual assistance and mutual respect", said Iliana Iotova. 

Vice President Iotova attended a ceremony to unveil a monument to poet Dimitar Danailov in Chirpan.
