Bulgaria's Euro Adoption: Ignoring Public Opinion?

Bulgaria's Euro Adoption: A Referendum Needed? The Bulgarian government's decision to adopt the Euro without a public referendum has sparked controversy. This move is similar to the situation in the Czech Republic, where the Prime Minister recently stated that a referendum is necessary due to low public support for the Euro. "Until we surpass 50% support," he said, "we won't introduce the Euro." This lack of public consultation raises concerns about democratic processes in Bulgaria, especially in light of such a significant economic decision. Critics argue that the government's approach undermines the will of the people and could lead to negative consequences. The lack of a referendum leaves many Bulgarians feeling unheard and uncertain about the future economic implications of adopting the Euro. The situation highlights the importance of public participation in major economic decisions and the need for transparent governance.
