A significant security development unfolded in Sofia with the discovery and neutralization of a powerful device capable of jamming airport signals and television towers. This followed earlier reports of affected GPS signals, with authorities reassuring the public about safety. Further investigations at the property where the jammer was found in Dragalevtsi revealed secret corridors and a tunnel.
Meanwhile, political tensions heightened as Bozhidar Bozhanov, a Member of the National Assembly and co-leader of the Yes, Bulgaria! party, accused the prosecution of shielding Delyan Peevski, a Member of the National Assembly and leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS). The Prosecutor's office has since refused a request from Democratic Bulgaria to investigate the lack of action regarding Peevski. In other news, a university in Varna canceled remote exams after students utilized artificial intelligence, and Bulgaria has acquired anti-drone systems after a considerable delay.
On a positive note, the cities of Burgas or Gabrovo have been surprisingly selected as European Capitals of Culture, defying expectations. The Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant is continuing to reduce its output due to low water levels in the Danube, and a final agreement has been reached on a new minimum wage formula.
