The Bulgarian President, Roumen Radev, has announced his resignation.

If you read yesterday's Buzz then you'll know that the parliament is looking or organise elections soon, so that a new government can be made. It looks like Radev wants to be involved in the new government.

Altspace: a coworking space that fits your lifestyle, not the other way around.

The Altspace community bridges the gap between the Bansko community and working online at a coworking space, bringing people together by challenging each other on Side Hustle Day, enjoying dinner together in a local restaurant, painting & wine, or chilling and talking about everything and nothing at Friday Beers.

If you want to join a community and coworking space that offers the right work-life balance, then book a trial day with Altspace Coworking. It’ll be one of the best decisions you’ll make.

It's a bit of a strange one this week. 😂
