Kiril Valchev, Candidate for Vice President: “As tomorrow is Independence Day, I would like to send a message to all the candidates, one that is set out in the Independence Manifesto – that the Bulgarian people and their head of state share the same thoughts and the same desire. And in response to your question about what Mrs Iotova and I will be guided by, let me point to three more things mentioned in the manifesto. First, that the Bulgarian people are always peace-loving. Second, that the Bulgarian people are part of the family of civilised nations. And third, that the Bulgarian people yearn for cultural and economic progress.”
