Stronger competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy, additional security and higher income and still better performance of the common European market – these are just some of the advantages for Bulgaria from the adoption of the Euro as indicated by Prime Minister Rossen Jeliazkov. In Bourgas, the Prime Minister attended the launch of the Euro Public Awareness Campaign. In all its components, the Euro has more advantages than any of the old former national currencies of the member states that chose this currency, Mr. Jeliazkov said firmly and stressed that the Euro is s common, not a foreign currency. We adopt the common European currency of some 400 million citizens of the European Union member states, the Prime Minister noted.
Prime Minister Rossen Jeliazkov outlined the goals and tasks of the Euro Public Awareness Campaign. The Prime Minister was firm that the Campaign should not be limited only to well-known and learned cliches and must be addressed with special attention to the more vulnerable and groups that are most at risk and most exposed to possible manipulations and distortions. It is an awareness campaign, not a propaganda campaign; it should explain the path to the adoption of the Euro, Mr. Jeliazkov pointed out. The Prime Minister stressed confidence in institutions and the enormous importance of investment in the truth as a countermeasure against fake news, outright lies and attempts to instill fear in the community. Investment in the truth is an expensive effort and here the media should be our ally as they are called to present true information, Prime Minister Rossen Jeliazkov pointed out.
