The tragic memory that changed the laws
In Burgas, hundreds honored the memory of children who lost their lives on the road. The initiative was started by the family of 12-year-old Valya, who died in 2011 after being struck at a pedestrian crossing.
Today marks 15 years since the tragic incident that devastated a family and awakened the conscience of the entire society.
The pedestrian crossing at one of the city's key intersections was covered with flowers as a sign of tribute. The participants issued a strong appeal to people across the country: to place flowers on a pedestrian crossing in memory of the children who have died.
From personal pain to a civic cause
- A fight for stricter penalties for killers on the road.
- Initiatives for a safer urban environment.
- Changes in legislation inspired by Valya's tragedy.
