Bulgaria is marking a significant historical event today with the active reception of the mortal remains of Tsar Samuel. Ceremonies are underway in Thessaloniki, and the coffin has been moved, culminating years of efforts for the historical figure's repatriation. This event is accompanied by public discourse, including questions raised by Professor Palangurski regarding the implications of what is being returned to Greece. In the political arena, the presidential election campaign is intensifying. Recent polls indicate that President Iliana Iotova and Vulchev are leading against candidate Andrey Gyurov and Kandev. The campaign has also seen Andrey Gyurov leading in election donations, while his supporters have accused President Iotova of misusing state resources. Economically, the government faces scrutiny over its financial management. Projections suggest that the cabinet's planned expenditure of 19 billion euros over three months may be insufficient. The country has also been highlighted as an unexpected leader in terms of national debt. Separately, the Interior Ministry has announced the arrest of 22 individuals involved in a migrant smuggling channel from Iran and Syria, and the prosecutor's office has disclosed details about a major gold theft investigation.
