Bulgarians' Real Estate Investments Reach 59 Countries
As of 2022, the count of fellow countrymen who purchased real estate overseas reached 2,154, based on data from the National Revenue Agency referenced by "Telegraph"
An open letter signed by a group of British and Bulgarian intellectuals has been published by the British Telegraph in which the authors state they feel offended by the negative image of Bulgaria in recent publications.
The negative campaign against Bulgarians and Romanians is persisting in Old Albion over fears of huge influx of them after the opening the labor market at the beginning of 2014.
Below is the full text of the letter:
Bulgarians in Britain
SIR – As a counterpoint to the tide of ill-researched information about potential Bulgarian migration, we would like to draw attention to the significant contribution to society that those Bulgarians who already live here make.
They work as lawyers, bankers, accountants, doctors and nurses, dentists, lecturers, classical musicians, in travel, wine and retail businesses, and as builders, decorators and cleaners.
Most acquired their skills in Bulgaria by the Bulgarian education and training system. Britain has, therefore, benefited from talented, hard-working people without the expense of training them.
No research about the number of unskilled and unemployed Bulgarians who may travel to Britain in pursuit of benefits can be accurate.
To his surprise, on visiting the poorest Roma district of Sofia and telling people what advantages they would find on moving to Britain, Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, discovered they had no wish to leave.
Just as sensible-thinking British people would not wish to be known for binge-drinking and offensively promiscuous behaviour, so too, hard-working and intelligent Bulgarians neither wish, nor deserve, to be portrayed as a nation of pickpockets and scroungers.
