Balgarianovinite.com Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova attended the launch of the book Mak by Ilya Velchev at Sofia’s Sredets Gallery, the President’s Press Secretariat reported on Tuesday.
Iotova said that Velchev’s novel shows the importance of the role of intellectuals in society, which is to show the value framework in turbulent times. “Moral concepts have changed so much that people need the voice of writers, essayists and artists,” the head of State pointed out.
According to the President, one of the main issues raised in the novel is the eternal value dilemma, which has remained unchanged throughout the centuries: to have or to be. “And this book focuses on the latter: the important thing is to be meaningful and to be,” said Iotova.
The novel Mak has been published with the support of the Ministry of Culture. “Intellectuals’ Voice Will Guide Us,” President Iotova Says at Book Launch 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-05-19 18:28:04 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
