Bulgaria for Citizens Party Calls for Boycott of Nuclear Energy Referendum
Thursday, 01 January 1970
The Bulgaria for the Citizens party callеd for a boycott of the forthcoming referendum on the development of nuclear energy claiming that it would be pointless.
"A referendum is held when positions and opinions are divided, while in this case the division is not in society but in the heads of the power holders, who do not want to bear responsibility," state-run Bulgarian News Agency cited the party's leader Meglena Kuneva as saying.
In Kuneva's words, the referendum, which is to be held on January 27, is a "pointless discussion", whose aim is to deflect attention from the bankruptcies of companies and unemployment.
