More than 70 Bulgarians, most of whom are seasonal workers, are not allowed to enter France, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced. The Bulgarian Embassy in Paris is in constant contact with these people. The group landed on Charles de Gaulle Airport on May 5. The Bulgarian citizens have job contracts and accommodation address, but they do not have permanent residence in France. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the French authorities allow only EU citizens with permanent residence in France and the seasonal workers do not match this criterion. 6 Bulgarians from the same flight who have permanent address in France and have worked in this country for over 5 years are also blocked at the airport.
