The condition of Edvin Sugarev, the Bulgarian poet who was on an anti-government hunger strike for 22 days, has been gradually stabilizing, his wife, Maria Arsenieva, has told the Bulgarian National Radio.
“The only problem is with his kidney function. I hope that he does not end up with long-term complications,” Arsenieva, a medical doctor, has said.
Sugarev, who was rushed to hospital on Wednesday, is expected to start feeding again on Friday or Saturday.
Arsenieva also said she would attempt to convince photographer Nikolay Genov to also put an end his anti-government hunger strike.
The series of anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS) on June 14.
Although the appointment was revoked, Bulgarians went on to demand that the cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski resign collectively.
Edvin Sugarev launched his hunger strike on June 26.
