Sofia, Bulgaria: President Rumen Radev appreciates all working men and women today on the occasion of World Labour Day, celebrated every year on May 1st in entire world.
On his official Facebook account, the head of the state wrote, “On World Labor Day and International Workers’ Solidarity, I thank all the people who, with their energy, mind and good work, despite all difficulties, build a worthy future for their families, our society and Bulgaria. Happy May 1st”.
Highlighting the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which affected the peace and order of several other European regions, President Radev noted that recent years’ crises and the war’s consequences in Ukraine have deeply affected society and sharpened social inequalities.
The President expresses his gratitude to everyone who is working towards a better future for their families, society, and Bulgaria.
He also asserted that democracy and a developed society are unthinkable without social justice. Without the conscious and daily affirmed understanding, success can only be joint if built on honest work.
On the occasion of World labour day, President Radev remarked that regular working days, healthcare, paid leave, and pensions are today’s rights won at the cost of many sacrifices.
Their quality and compliance are an indicator of the maturity of Bulgarian society. The common task of the Bulgarian people is to uphold the cause of social justice so that Bulgarians can confidently plan and build their future in their own country.
Labour Day is a yearly holiday that commemorates the accomplishments of workers. Its beginnings can be traced back to the labour union movement, specifically the campaign for an eight-hour workday, which proposed eight hours for work, leisure, and rest.
On the occasion of Labour Day, President Radev gave the message to Bulgarian people to build a worthy future for their families, society and Bulgaria.
