Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) - United Left coalition head Atanas Zafirov and MP candidates met with university rectors in Sofia on Thursday, the coalition said in a press release.

During the meeting, Zafirov stressed that the coalition will approach the problems in higher education responsibly, adding that they are a priority on which politicians can unite.

He pointed out that a huge part of the active educated people do not vote and called on rectors to motivate their students to change that. "If they don't go to the polls, we will remain in this situation for a long time", Zafirov noted.

"Give us legislative proposals so that we can be really close to your needs", Zafirov also said. The Council of Rectors Chair Prof Miglena Temelkova commented that the political formation has ambitious proposals and that it would be very nice if it manages to implement them. She emphasized that 5% of the Bulgaria's GDP should go to the education sector.
