"President Radev has given a Christmas present to the war lovers and forgot about the working people, the weak and the poor," BSP leader Korneliya Ninova wrote on her Facebook page. She recalls that today the office of the president would accept an additional agreement to the already signed contract on the provision of arms to Ukraine.

"There will be more and more weapons and the list will be classified again," Ninova writes and recalls Rumen Radev's words from a month ago that such an act could draw the country into a war. She also questions whether this was the most urgent decision given the rise in the price of gas by 35% at beginning of the New Year, water - by 22%, food and basic goods. According to her, half a million working Bulgarians expected the caretaker government to increase the minimum wage to 50% of the average from January 1, 2023.
