"The 48th National Assembly, unfortunately, continued to do what the 45th, 46th and 47th did, namely: to accustom us to circus nonsense and scandals. 

If nothing else (and there is much else), even that alone is a big negative in our miserable present.

Even if it weren't for the return of old footage in various places - from clinics to forests, if it weren't for the hanging of important laws (to control the Attorney General, the 2023 budget and more), if it weren't for all of this, even JUST the problem with our habituation to nonsense is gigantic'.

We are used to circus nonsense and scandals - the biggest sin of this parliament

Or in other words: if you bring them such a banknote, they will take it from you for BGN 20, if you want to buy it from them, they will give it to you for BGN 31.20. 

Twenty coins from 2005 now cost BGN 40.
