Stojyan Bachvarov Dramatic Theater in Varna

Just a few hours after the ban against the epidemic of all cultural and entertainment events in Varna, imposed suddenly from 00:00 today, it was lifted just as quickly in the early afternoon. The official reason for the closure, announced yesterday by local authorities, was an increase in coronavirus infections and an increase in hospital admissions. According to the regional governor of the Varna region, Stoyan Pasev, the reason for the cancellation of the measures imposed yesterday was their “politicization”.

All about the sudden closure, here.

According to sources from Dnevnik, the reason for the inclusion of cultural events in the anti-epidemic restrictions imposed yesterday was completely different from

take care of the health and life of the citizens of Varna.

Just a few days earlier, President Rumen Radev had confirmed his participation in the centenary celebrations of the Stoyan Bachvarov Dramatic Theater in Varna. They were scheduled for today, but after the decision of the district headquarters they were canceled.

The version that the closure of theaters, cinemas and concert halls in Varna was intended to thwart Rumen Radev’s visit was one of the most discussed yesterday. Because

goof with the failed celebration of the theater,

its cast flooded social media with angry comments. However, the tragicomic outcome that followed today with the repeal of the measures imposed yesterday, however, heightened the wave of outrage even more.

“The theater will last, but sadly on this day when I have to smile,

I am full of anger

Extreme rage! “Actress Veselina Mihalkova told BTV.

“I call on all my colleagues to carefully monitor what is happening and question everything,” said his colleague Polina Nedkova.

Actor Stoyan Radev was even more emphatic in his anger expressed at BTV. “This order is expected to have been issued because the President of the Republic of Bulgaria would come to celebrate with us the centenary of the theater,” he said.

Such insanity I can’t assume is possible

in the rulers of a country, but looking at the facts, I begin to believe that this seems to be the only reason. “

Distrust of the reasons for which yesterday theaters, cinemas and concert halls were urgently closed in Varna was caused by the data announced earlier in the day on the spread of the coronavirus in the Varna region. Only for 24 hours: March 10 and 11 of this year. According to the Regional Health Inspectorate, the number of newly infected with COVID-19 decreased from 272 to 153. During the information session yesterday (Thursday, March 11) at the National Operations Headquarters, the chief health inspector, Angel Kunchev, announced the seven districts of Bulgaria in which 100 thousand patients in the last two weeks is the highest. Varna was not mentioned among them. Just an hour later, the local headquarters decided to urgently close concert halls, cinemas and theaters.

Today, when yesterday’s order was revoked, the regional governor of the Varna region, Stoyan Pasev, could not find a compelling reason for his actions.

“Everything we do is always wrong!

Even leaving it open is wrong, even closing it is still wrong. In order not to politicize the processes, we are reopening the cinemas at the suggestion of the district governor, “he said just a day after arguing the closure with” the trend observed in recent days of increasing the number of registered citizens registered in Covid-19, respectively. hospitalized. “Today, this trend has clearly changed direction.

Immediately after the announced cancellation of the closure, the Stoyan Bachvarov Dramatic Theater in Varna reported in response to questions posed by Dnevnik that, however,

There will be no party tonight or in the next few days.

The reason for this is that yesterday the guests of the anniversary concert, some of them from abroad, were informed of its cancellation. There was no way the technical teams were ready to work on the program in such a short time. The previously announced online broadcast of the show, which was to be played in front of an empty room, was also canceled.

Meanwhile, a lightning protest is scheduled for 3.30pm today in front of the District Administration building in Varna.
