Bulgaria: Vanya Grigorova will be the Left’s Candidate for Mayor of Sofia

Vanya Grigorova will be the candidate for mayor of Sofia broadcast by the left coalition "Levitsa" and the Bulgarian Socialist Party. 24 out of 24 BSP structures supported Grigorova's candidacy, and the talks with her lasted for several months. Her candidacy is to be confirmed at the BSP city conference. The motto of her campaign will be: "Sofia for all".

"Yes, we have a common goal - to have representation of ordinary people in the representative office. Millionaires can buy laws, but ordinary people feel unheard. I accepted this challenge because Sofia has been ruled by right-wing parties for 33 years. Therefore, we see in what state is Sofia, renovations of renovations are being made," said Grigorova.

"The governance model in Sofia has been condemned for 33 years. We have yet another failed mandate in the Sofia Municipality. Instead of talking about these topics, we are served something banal like the monument to the Soviet Army and the desire to dismantle it. We are thrown into the field of populism. We have gathered to change Sofia so that it works for the benefit of the citizens, and not only for the benefit of big business," added Ivan Takov, chairman of BSP-Sofia.

"She stands up for social justice. We believe that she will work to solve the problems with reconstruction, with a shortage of kindergartens, for the efficient use of every lev of municipal and European funds. The political right is united in the fight against Bulgarian memory. The united left bloc can propose solutions that restore the dignity of the citizens of the capital," said Kostadin Paskalev, the chairman of the "Levitsata" coalition.
