When nightclubs in Bulgaria close, 120,000-130,000 people lose their jobs. This was what the chairman of the Bulgarian Association of Restaurants Richard Alibegov has told journalists, quoted by BNT. The association demanded the resignation of the mayor of the capital, Yordanka Fandakova, due to the closure of the night clubs for two weeks. In response, Fandakova said she was ready for dialogue, but the measures must be strictly observed.
