Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, speaking in the town of Levski on the 188th anniversary of Vasil Levski’s birth, reminded citizens of the national hero's enduring legacy. "The Apostle of our freedom bequeathed us the belief that no force, no fate can be more powerful than ourselves. We can be the smiths of our own fate," Radev declared.
Radev said he was honored "to be in the only Bulgarian town named after the Apostle of freedom... We celebrate two important anniversaries today—188 years since his birth and 80 years since the town’s naming.”
The President also highlighted the daily relevance of Levski’s ideals. “Levski’s cause walks with us every day, but also provokes our conscience… I am convinced that each 18 July, this square will continue to fill with the steps of grateful descendants seeking connection with his ideals and virtues.”
He went on to say: “May we breathe life and strength into his bequest… to guide us toward a pure and sacred republic founded on law, dignity, and justice.”
He thanked Mayor Lyubka Alexandrova and all the townspeople “who, with honest work and dignity, uphold the pure name of Levski.”
That evening, President Radev attended a military ceremony featuring cadets from the Vasil Levski National Military University.
