As acting military minister Dimitar Stoyanov Hamletovski wonders why they were "hooked up like the Russian government," the background of the play fills up behind him with events that would probably answer him if he only remembered to look around. 

Do you remember the legend that Germany pays in rubles and gets gas?

Germany, you see, the state of Germany(!) used to pay Gazprom in rubles!

First, it is about the company Uniper, which is private (while Bulgargaz, for example, is state-owned).

It is in difficulty because (contrary to the propaganda and lies in Bulgaria) Gazprom reduced, reduced and finally stopped gas supplies. 

In Bulgaria, however, it is always claimed that Germany (the country!) has started paying in rubles and that is why there is gas.

Both of these statements are false…actually they are three: 

1.

that Germany (the state) does anything, not the private company Uniper;

that he pays in rubles (never happened);

that it gets gas (it doesn't).

But it was going around the studios, it was being said in interviews, it was being said by politicians and discredited ex-ministers caught in fraud, it was being said by sharp-eyed party blades, lies, lies, lies;

when they were rebuked, they - as if stuck their fingers in their ears - pretended that the words did not reach them ... and again began to repeat the same lies. 

And so they created a mood among the Bulgarians.

One lie repeated a thousand times...

And now - the moment has come when Uniper will sue Gazprom.

Something that the Bulgarian state should also do (Bulgargaz, in its capacity as a party to the contract).

Not only that, but the company is urging everyone who had contracts to do the same.

We are talking about a barrage of lawsuits or a mega class action. 

Meanwhile, the official pigeons in our country are still circling around the idea that the door to Gazprom was not closed in Bulgaria

(and then they ask themselves why they are "attached as the Russian government").

After all they have received – in humiliation – they have not yet given up;

although Gazprom told them no, clearly and without nuance.

They look like a snotty eighth-grade brat trying to screw up a date with a classmate for the eighty-eighth time after being told no eighty-seven times.

Pathetic.

And they do it just to prove their loyalty to people who humiliate them.

They also humiliate us through them. 

And it can't be just about money here.

No.

There is something else, some other kind of dependence must be either personal beliefs or fear of falling off the balcony and they, there is something more than "enrichment", no one in the world could be so limited by their greed, sacrificing your dignity. 

It is a pity that those - the other - liars who went around the studios to explain that Germany paid in rubles, no one will hold them to account for their words.

Apologizing is unthinkable, beyond wildest dreams, that's clear. 

And about the collective action - I have a bad feeling that Bulgaria will be absent from it. 

And they are still talking about the open door for Russian negotiations.

They don't understand what "insecure" and "disloyal" means.

Or they pretend not to understand. 

And not only that, but we'll also be pouring water on the arbitration.

No gas, no compensation.

And some comrades will receive money in a bag (or who knows what they will receive, their addiction is so masochistic already that it becomes strange for a human being). 

The pigeons and their dovecote continue to maintain the line that it was not entirely clear who was to blame for the stopped gas to Bulgaria.

Is it really unclear?

There are two parties, one pays, the other refuses to deliver, despite the contract.

And it wasn't clear.

And we were guilty?

What?

That Putin attacked Ukraine and brought sanctions?

I try to avoid the words "national traitors", but somehow they just pop into one's mind. 

And a few questions that, of course, we know the answers to, but are still important to ask:

Why

will the chief dove discover the gas connection with Greece?

Are we a (n)Resident Republic already?

Are we imitating Putin's

credit does

he have for her?

"Thanks to" or "despite" his efforts happened?

How did

the opening happen to be EXACTLY on October 1 - the day of reflection before the election?

And something very important: gas slots in Greece for next year are about to be applied for.

will this play out?

Does anyone plan to work on this or are we going to wait until it's too late? 

We are waiting with interest and with a worrying suspicion that they may do some sham, only to find that (the old song in a new voice—) "there are no slots" and therefore we have to look again to possible negotiations with the Russians, who for the Nth sometimes we will be told "no" and then again the pigeons will sternly look at us from the dovecote with accusing eyes that - you see - somehow we are to blame for this.
