President Rumen Radev addressed the Bulgarian people in his final address as president.
“Nine years ago, you gave me your trust to work for Bulgaria as president. You did it again in 2021. An honor and a responsibility that I tried to justify in all my actions. Together we experienced a number of crises. The attacks of the oligarchy against democracy and the big protests. Circumstances forced me to appoint caretaker governments seven times. To defend the state and public interest.”
Rumen Radev stated that today he is addressing for the last time as president and asked for forgiveness.
“Time has put your trust to the test. Thank you for your patience. I acknowledge my mistakes. But it was precisely my belief that we would achieve it that is one of my motives for this decision of mine.”
