On the occasion of September 22 – Bulgaria's Independence Day, a congratulatory message has been sent to the citizens. On this date in 1908, our country declared its full political sovereignty, taking its rightful place among the free European nations.
Independence is the natural continuation of the struggles for national liberation, in which thousands of Bulgarian revolutionaries and heroes gave their lives in the name of a free and sovereign Bulgaria. "Their courage, dedication, and faith in the future of the Motherland are a legacy that we must preserve and pass on," the message emphasizes.
Today, in unity, solidarity, and responsibility toward Bulgaria, we must safeguard our national dignity and work together to build its future. It is further emphasized that independence is not only a historical achievement but also a responsibility toward future generations.
The congratulatory address concludes with the words: "Happy Independence Day!"
