summary
The far-right, pro-Russian Vazrazhdane party proposed amendments to the Pre-School and School Education Act introducing fines of €5,000–10,000 for legal entities registered abroad or receiving at least half of their funding from abroad if they run trainings, surveys or research involving children, pupils or school staff — in effect banning foreign-funded CSOs from educational work, in the name of 'national sovereignty'. The party had earlier tabled several 'foreign agents' bills and the 'Don't Say Gay in Schools' amendment adopted in August 2024 (BGR-001).
