A few days before Varna’s holiday, I will say some unpleasant things about our seaside city. Things that are valuable to those who have the sensitivity to feel them and the critical thinking to understand them. I had to check whether the elevators for disabled people were working in the city we all call “the maritime capital.” I emphasize the word “capital” because it refers to a major tourist city.
Unfortunately, I found that in this supposedly large modern city, there are many places that are not accessible to people who have difficulty moving around. I checked 17 elevators for people with disabilities. Only four were working—in two of the pedestrian bridges on Levski Boulevard. Why should people in wheelchairs give up a walk to the Sea Garden, fearing that getting around will be too difficult?
Excuse me, #VarnaMunicipality, aren’t we in the 21st century?! I am not the only one who has noticed this.
As a young person, I don’t want to see people with limited mobility unable to enjoy a pleasant day out. I am outraged and disappointed when I see these people wandering around, looking for a way to get around the seaside capital. Why should we create something that won’t work for citizens in the long run?
