Workers at the Labour Inspectorate and the Directorate of the Labour Office in Varna, Ruse, Yambol and Shumen protested Wednesday demanding higher pay. They pointed out that a 5% pay rise in the 2026 State Budget Bill for state administration employees is frivolous and offensive, and insisted on a 20% increase for all employees.

The Labour Inspectorate in Yambol (Southeastern Bulgaria) has 10 employees, who cover a huge volume of work in over 100 settlements in the five municipalities of the region, the protesters noted, adding that the Labour Office Directorate has 33 full-time employees who service three municipalities.
