Bulgarian Socialist Party - United Left coalition representatives called for the establishment of auction sites for the sale of agricultural produce without intermediaries at a meeting with Bulgarian producers and breeders in the village of Mechkarevo, Sliven Region (Southeast Bulgaria) on Tuesday. "Bulgarian schools and kindergartens should have Bulgarian and organic food, and there should be stronger control over the quality of food in the commercial network," they said.

The coalition was represented by the socialist party's Deputy Chair and MEP Kristian Vigenin, the top-of-the-list candidate in Sliven Deyan Dechev and the top-of-the-list candidate in Yambol Krasimir Yordanov.

They took part in an exhibition in which more than 150 animals were on display.

Representatives of the United Left also highlighted their intention to prioritize funding for vegetable growing, fruit growing, livestock farming and organic farming. Vigenin argued that through a guarantee fund of BGN 500 million, all producers could have equal access to EU funding.
