Also a referendum on the topic was ruled illegal, because it’ll violate the EU accession, where EU adoption is mandatory when criteria are met.

Also it’s too late now, it all depends on two votes on the 8th of July by the ministers of finance and the EU parliament. Bulgaria has no way of pulling out now, without doing massive damage to their EU integration, credit score and investors’ interest.

It is legal to do referendum about entering EU, but illegal to do referendum about leaving EU? It sounds quite totalitarian.

It’s legal to do a referendum about leaving the EU, but no one wants that and it’d be a political suicide to suggest it.

Alt right politicians mostly want a referendum against the euro specifically, so that they can get points when the main parties can’t deliver it, they don’t want to exit the EU.
