"Get out and vote for who you want to rule. Regardless of whether by machine or paper", urged Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov after voting in the second round of the local elections in Sofia.

He commented on the war of Hamas against Israel. "Everyone understands that if the conflict escalates, it can have huge consequences around the world, so it is important to find the right balance," he explained, pointing out that it is key to free the hostages and reduce the danger of attacks by Hamas. He stressed that it is important not to trigger a humanitarian crisis. 

According to the Prime Minister, Israel's point of view should be heard, but we should also be careful that there is humanitarian support for the other side as well. Denkov stated that there were no talks about military support, reports BGNES.
