The Retirees Union in the Bulgarian western city of Pernik begins Thursday the collection signatures in support of President, Georgi Parvanov, the Union's leader informs.
The move comes in the heels of Bulgaria's ruling Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party beginning a procedure to impeach Parvanov over the controversy stemming from the President publishing a transcript from his conversation with Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov, without the latter's knowledge. GERB say the move violates the Constitution.
The Pernik retirees defend Parvanov with the motive Pernik is the President's hometown and appeal to all city residents to follow their example along with everyone from the Pernik Region.
In addition, the elderly issued a declaration defining the anti-crisis measure to tax the income of retirees holding full-time jobs, allegedly proposed by Djankov, as genocide. They say the impeachment is an attempt to divert attention from the real economic issues faced by the country.
The Union has 3 000 members in the Region with 1 500 in the city of Pernik. The number of retirees is estimated at 30 000.
