President Rumen Radev Promulgates Changes to Pre-School and School Education Law
President Rumen Radev has officially announced the Law on Pre-School and School Education, as stated by the press office of the head of state.
In response to inquiries regarding the president’s stance on the amendments passed by the National Assembly, it was confirmed that the president has expressed his position by signing a decree for its promulgation.
It is important to note that the changes to the Law on Pre-School and School Education were adopted on August 7. Some political parties have called on the president to veto the amendments.
The amendments prohibit any form of propaganda, promotion, or incitement, whether directly or indirectly, related to ideas and views concerning non-traditional sexual orientation or gender identity that differs from biological sex.
The text of the amendment also provides a definition for “non-traditional sexual orientation” as being “different from the commonly accepted understandings entrenched in Bulgarian legal tradition regarding emotional, romantic, sexual, or sensual attraction between individuals of opposite sexes.”
LGBTQI activists have spoken out against the amendments, urging the president to veto the changes. Another protest by the LGBTQI community is scheduled for today.
