The Bulgarian Agrarian Chamber has announced effective protest actions across the country. Local structures of the chamber do not accept the support measures proposed by the government, in exchange for proving that they operated at a loss in 2023. According to the farmers, the tax return for the 2023 tax year cannot show their losses, which have been increasing over the past three years.
Farmers do not accept the 75 million euros proposed by the authorities to support vulnerable sub-sectors such as "milk", "fruit" and "vegetables". According to the farmers, new analyses are needed to better compensate for the losses. On a special map, protesters have marked more than 80 key points across the country that will be blocked by heavy equipment for at least two hours per day. The protests are also being joined by other agricultural organisations who are demanding the resignation of Agriculture Minister Kiril Vatev.
