The miners and energy workers who have been protesting for several days set six conditions for lifting the roadblocks.
They are demanding that Bulgaria’s recovery and resilience plan be renegotiated; the functioning of the thermal power plants in their full capacity guaranteed up until 2038; an energy strategy developed; the liberalization of the energy market for household consumers postponed; as well as transparency of the investment procedures and the scrapping of the territorial just transition plans for the coal-mining areas.
