Yambol Hospital Treats five Pyrotechnics-Related Injuries on New Year’s Eve
Several individuals in Yambol sustained injuries from pyrotechnic devices during New Year’s Eve celebrations, leading to treatment at the local hospital.
A 30-year-old man suffered a serious thermal injury after a pipe from a pyrotechnic device became embedded in his chest. This harrowing incident underscores the potential dangers associated with fireworks.
In addition to the 30-year-old man, four other individuals sought treatment at the Yambol hospital for pyrotechnics-related injuries. A seven-year-old child required urgent transfer to Sofia’s Pirogov hospital for specialized plastic surgery.
The remaining three patients, a 14-year-old boy and two men aged 25 and 30, were admitted to the Orthopedics Department. They sustained lacerations to their palms, and one individual suffered a finger amputation.
Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov has pledged to prioritize the fight against corruption during his tenure. Speaking at a forum on European values, Denkov emphasized the importance of tackling the issue head-on, stating, ”It is indeed essential to address corruption as it directly hinders our progress and development as a nation.”
Denkov’s commitment comes against a backdrop of increasing public concern over corruption in Bulgaria. Several high-profile scandals have rocked the contry in recent years, eroding public trust in institutions and fueling demands for reform.
“We are committed to creating a obvious and accountable government,” Denkov asserted. “We will work tirelessly to ensure that justice is served and those who abuse their power are held accountable for their actions.”
The Prime Minister outlined plans to strengthen anti-corruption agencies, enhance judicial independence, and promote greater openness in public procurement. He also stressed the importance of citizen engagement in the fight against corruption, urging Bulgarians to report any instances of wrongdoing.
“Combating corruption is a collective effort,” Denkov concluded.”We can only succeed if we work together to build a fairer and more just society.”
denkov’s vow to tackle corruption has been welcomed by civil society groups and international organizations, who see it as a crucial step towards strengthening the rule of law and promoting good governance in Bulgaria.
