Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev chose Twitter to congratulate Bulgarians on Independence Day.
In his profile he wrote the following: “On September 22, 1908 in the church“ St. Forty Martyrs ”in the old Bulgarian capital Veliko Tarnovo, Prince Ferdinand declared the independence of Bulgaria, the first national state of the EU. Happy Bulgarian holidays! “
Below is a greeting with the song “Day by day” from the movie “Measure to Measure.
It is not clear what exactly the prosecutor Geshev meant. The European Union was established in 1992 by the Maastricht Treaty, and prior to that, the organization was known as the European Economic Community. It was established in 1958.
At the time of the creation of the EU, its members were mainly nation states, because the great European empires no longer existed, Bulgaria and Romania were the two countries that became members of the union at the same time in 2007. After them, only Croatia joined.
Beyond that, Romania declared its independence in 1861, 47 years before Bulgaria. The Attorney General should be aware that many of the Bulgarian revolutionaries are hiding on Romanian territory because the country is not part of the Ottoman Empire.
