Do you remember?
Today is January 10th!
26 years ago today, Parliament was besieged and protests began.
In two years of rule, the communists bankrupted the state for the fourth time!
The political confrontation was such that the communists, under siege in the Parliament, sang "Partisan is bracing for a fight", and the people outside wanted their heads!
And just then, as a result of the wisdom shown by the political leaders, it came to:
1) Refusal of Zhelio Zhelev to hand over a new mandate to the BSP.
2) Renunciation of the BSP from power and consent to new elections.
3) The new Parliament adopted a Declaration of National Consent on:
- introduction of a currency board
- accelerated reforms
- accelerated return to earth
- decisive fight against crime
- opening the files
- membership of Bulgaria in the EU
- Bulgaria's membership in NATO.
I am writing this because then, in the conditions of a severe political, economic, financial and social crisis, politicians found a formula for national agreement and were looking for solutions!
Even the BSP with its leader Georgi Parvanov, who only months before led a rally under the slogan "NATO - Fascists - World Terrorists!", accepted the declaration.
The decisions taken then determined the path of Bulgaria for years to come!
Today we are in a crisis again and instead of looking for solutions, a game of "Black Peter" is being played and the parties are thinking only of not losing any of their "measly" percentages of electoral support.
There are no leaders, but as many politics as you want!
And for those who have forgotten, I am also publishing the "achievements" of the government of Zhan Videnov!
The average salary reached 10-15 dollars, pensions - 5-10 dollars, and people's savings in banks were robbed!
In two years BSP made 8 (eight) budget updates!
