Mothers are protesting, demanding a jump in maternity and child support payments.

Mothers in Bulgaria are organizing protests across several cities, demanding increased maternity benefits and child allowances. The protest, scheduled for Wednesday at 6 PM, includes a specific request to raise maternity pay for the second year to 70% of the average income, but not less than the minimum living wage. The group has proposed a package of measures aimed at addressing demographic challenges, including unfulfilled promises of 75% increases and €460 in additional support. They argue that these changes would be economically beneficial for both the state and families. The mothers have also criticized the government’s budget proposals for technical errors and called for immediate action to redirect funds toward families.
