Bulgaria’s printed media accentuate on Friday on the latest voting at the UN Security Council. Bulgaria’s new nominee for the UN Security General Kristalina Georgieva placed last but one during the voting and was outrun by that country’s former nominee Irian Bokova. As a result, the Bulgarian Socialist Party and ABV demanded the resignation of Premier Borissov and his cabinet. Standard daily came up with the heading: UN Coalition Shakes Bulgaria’s Cabinet. However, Premier Borissov categorically answered that he would not hand in his resignation. Sega daily comments that Premier Borissov accuses former nominee Irina Bokova and the communist regime for Kristalina Georgieva’s failure to head the UN. The UN saga ended infamously, another heading of that newspaper informs. Duma daily commented that Borissov should resign and Georgieva should leave the European Commission.

Telegraph daily reveals alarming data of the Syndicate of Bulgarian Teachers with the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria. According to that information, a total of 1,200 Bulgarian teachers left their country in the past ten years in search of a better paid job abroad.
