Residents of the Bulgarian village of Aheloy  on the Black Sea coast have rejected the speculations published by the German magazine "Spiegel" that there are many Germans living in the resort village who are opponents of vaccines and Covid measures. According to the publication in the German edition, Germans are feeling en masse to Bulgaria because the country has a freer regime against the pandemic.

Employees of the residential complex where the foreigners are staying claims that the guests are not anti-vaxxers, they have green certificates, and the article is a "complete lie". 
There are about 20 Germans living in Aheloy, not 60, as the publication in the Spiegel claims, as there are also Czechs, Poles, Russians and Ukrainians living in the resort, locals say.
