Police officers and firefighters are to protest in Sofia in the early afternoon of November 8 celebrated as Bulgarian Police Day. They are demanding 30% pay rise in the system of the Ministry of Interior. Their discontent was caused by a decree issued by the Council of Ministers which envisages a 30% pay rise for people employed at 28 administrations in Bulgaria. Meanwhile, the 2021 draft budget envisages that Bulgaria’s Police Officers are to receive 15% pay rise as of next year.
On Sunday morning Bulgaria’s Premier greeted the Police officers on his Facebook page. “I would like to thank them for providing the most powerful support together with the Bulgarian medics during these difficult months. They have always been at the frontline against the virus, where the risk is highest”, Premier Borissov wrote.
The professional day of the Bulgarian police coincides with the St. Archangel Michael church council and was marked for the first time in 1924.
