A conversation with the journalist Dimitrova about the situation in Bulgaria and the Macedonian issue.
Bulgaria is facing the seventh parliamentary elections and has been in a political crisis for three years due to the inability to elect a stable government. In the pre-election, Macedonia is even more part of the rhetoric of the political contenders and it seems as if that is the only point on which they agree.
The guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the journalist Tonya Dimitrova from the National Service, with whom we talked not only about the elections, but also about the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights that Bulgaria does not want to implement, the constitutional amendments that they require from us, as well as about the problems that Zaharieva has in her political career towards European institutions.

As long as there are quotas and the need for special laws, we do not have gender equality
Women in the private security sector
In the first March edition of Labyrinth, we talk about women in the private security sector with the Secretary General of the Chamber of Private Security, Sanja Kermetchieva. Similar to the state, in the private security sector only 10% of the employees are women. As long as we talk about quotas, as long as we count how many women are in certain positions, regardless of whether it is in the highest state positions, whether it is a position of women managers, whether they are in rectors, in dean's administrations and so on, in any which position or in specific jobs in security, how many women are police officers, how many in private security, how many are soldiers...
Until then and while we are talking about this and while there is a need for special conventions, special laws and policies in companies, we are facing with gender inequality. -
