Vazrazhdane demanded the resignation of Deputy Minister of Culture Vessela Kondakova over funds intended for community centres. At a briefing in Parliament, Tsveta Galunova from Vazrazhdane said that 41 million leva had been promised to the community centres in the country prior to the budget vote, citing a statement by Kondakova on February 3, but the money has never made it there.

''According to Kondakova, 41 million leva have been set aside in the state budget, and people from community centres are looking for this money and asking when they will be able to receive it. However, it turns out that this money is either not there, or for some reason is not given to the community centres,'' said Galunova.

According to Vazrazhdane, it is unacceptable to deceive both MPs and those in the cultural sector who had hoped for this support and are now deprived of it. "When something is said, it must be done, and when a person says something, they must stay true to their words. Kondakova did not stand by her words, on the contrary, she accused us, told outright lies and for this reason we demand her resignation, "Galunova said.
