ACTS Post opinions with a wide range of perspectives to encourage constructive discussion.
Comment from Prof. Ivaylo Dichev:
Just look at the absurd. We are governed by a pro-European coalition (in the sense of governing through EU funds) GERB in alliance with anti-European national populists. And everyone suspects that the strings are, in fact, pulling Peevski and Dogan, who are supposedly in opposition.
Citizens can no longer tolerate them, except that the coveted 3.5% of protesters are still not enough, which, according to US political scientist Erica Chinovet, are guaranteed the overthrow of governments (about 200,000 for a country of 6 million). Okay, we don’t get together all at once, but maybe we’ll make up for it with perseverance?
Several people in power demanded that the militia, sorry, the police beat even more, but Borisov’s heart broke with pity. In general, there is a fierce fight over who was the biggest victim: the beaten citizens or the injured policemen.
A country divided
The protest is supposed to stop every day, but who knows how it will continue. We never knew who sent them to the provocateurs, half of them allegedly have a criminal record, the soccer agitators have been monitored by the police for a long time, but the guarantors have not been identified. We stick to the logic of crime series: who benefits? The interpretations are two mirror images, corresponding to our divided society.
In the same way, we join the clues with which the torrent of news floods us. Bombs in the tents of Puente del Águila, no, pyrotechnics. The woman in the white car was attacked, no, she wanted to trample the protesters. The police were sprayed with bear spray, no, they sprayed the journalists. The yellow cobblestones were desecrated – yes, but these cobblestones, look how the municipality abandoned them …
Everyone has the opportunity to justify their opinion, which they already have: here is the recipe for the painful radicalization of society in the Internet age. As a result, the ranks of the hard-core are narrowing, Facebook users suddenly befriend friends who oppose them, and political scientists show loyalty to their respective teams.
The situation is not much better with the institutions either. The president and the executive do not speak: Radev lost confidence in the government, which sent him to the heavily armed prosecutor’s office. The MRF added a new nuance to the stalemate, demanding the resignation of both parties. A bit like the teacher pulling both kalpazan’s ears without asking who started first.
Desperately clinging to power, GERB invented this childhood with the new constitution, pretending to yield to the demands of the people. However, people said that they did not want any new constitution, but rather wanted the government to go first.
He followed a procedural trick: collect 120 signatures to submit the project. We understand that “Will’s” support was purchased with the “Kabakum North 2” beach concession, and an NFSB activist received a beach in Nessebar.
And it is already clear that the Grand National Assembly cannot be convened because 160 votes are not collected, due to the refusal of the BSP and MRF to support it. (Although who knows, could there be more beaches under concession?) And now we Bulgarian citizens are expected to stare stupidly for months discussing something that cannot happen. Procedural grip, theater of the absurd.
Among the innumerable dead ends we have established, the referendum held by IMRO (instead of a beach) for the introduction of an educational qualification, let us understand – the elimination of gypsies from the electoral process, shines. That would be unconstitutional and could get us out of Europe. But we understood that in this country problems are not solved, but muscles are pumped. A portion of nonsensical talk awaits us, so on the occasion of this madness.
Meanwhile, the prosecution is not even willing to offer some form of control over their activities. Here, for civic decency. In general, in this country, whenever we talk about law, such an icy formalism immediately occurs, there are some commas that prevent us from having a sense of justice, but only God can eliminate them. Hallelujah!
Where do we go from now on?
Wherever you look: a blockade, a dead end, a dead end. Take the future governments of this country: who could combine with whom? Nobody will want with GERB, as today they don’t want with the demonized MRF. Some refuse to talk to the “communists”, others are disgusted by the “scoundrel”, others avoid the heirs of the “privatizer” Kostov …
Of course, the normalization of this country goes through resignations and new elections. But will this alone help us return to pragmatic common sense that controls passions and seeks solutions?
