A tragic incident in Isperih saw a father kill his two daughters before taking his own life, while a wave of false bomb threats targeted schools and kindergartens across the country. Authorities also reported a significant drug bust in Burgas, seizing hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and marijuana.
In economic news, the minimum wage is projected to increase by 40 to 50 euros in 2027, and Bulgaria continues to face challenges with the highest rate of premature deaths in the EU due to air pollution. Politically, President Iliana Iotova described the war in Ukraine as a 'conflict' and refuted claims of engaging in Russian propaganda, while Prime Minister Rumen Radev's comments on the 'collective West' were labeled as Russian propaganda by an analyst.
Meanwhile, the European Public Prosecutor's Office has begun investigating two projects under the national Recovery and Resilience Plan, and the fugitive influencer Stoyan Kolev was apprehended in Spain. Varna is also set to receive new Skoda trams next week, a positive development for public transportation.
