Radev stated that the minimum wage will not be frozen this year.
Earlier today, June 23, the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation (NCTC) failed to reach agreement on the issue of social security contributions for public sector employees.

The Tripartite Council also failed to reach consensus on a proposal to introduce more flexible arrangements for taking paternity leave following the birth of a child.
