Georg Georgiev: Some people encouraged the streets of Sofia to become a scene of unprecedented horror

For the Bulgarian people, democracy is the greatest value and achievement, deserved and suffered after 45 years of totalitarian rule and communist dictatorship. Guided by this conviction, the government of the Prime Minister, Mr. Boyko Borissov, has defended in every possible way and even encouraged any expression of active citizenship, and criticism has always been constructively interpreted as a tool and an opportunity to improve. the work of state institutions and their representatives. This is manifested in the position of the national coordinator for the fight against anti-Semitism Georg Georgiev, sent by the press center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“The civilized and lawful ways in which citizens express their discontent have never been criticized or sanctioned by the forces of order, nor have they encountered resistance or attempts to thwart them, and their messages have been ignored. Of 50 days of protests demanding resignation of the cabinet are and will continue to enjoy due respect for the Bulgarian citizens who present their just demands for causes and policies, behind which the Bulgarian government stands firm and has become its main priorities – Fighting corruption, reaffirming the principles of justice and the rule of law as pillars of the rule of law, guaranteeing transparent public processes subject only to rules and regulations.

However, in the context of constant attempts to preserve stability and good tone in society, this morning Sofia woke up with another unsympathetic display of violence: gallows with hanging dolls were hanged and erected in the central streets, boulevards, bridges and flyovers. In addition to this “choreography”, car owners located in the Águila Bridge area found brochures representing the organizers of the anti-government protests, the so-called Poison Trio carrying a coffin in front of the MC building. The text below the photos says “Resignation or coffin.”

As the national coordinator of the fight against anti-Semitism and hate speech, I declare that this terrible reference, which unequivocally bears the marks of a message and a threat, is an expression of the total absence of thought and the ability to form meaningful messages. Such events recall a plot from the darkest times in world history, when repression was the norm and human life an object in the hands of dictators and tyrants. The perpetrators of the above events, as well as those who spread black sacks in front of a private house, seem to be trying to convince us that the achievements of European civilization today have no place in Bulgarian society and the rules will be imposed at the cost of lives. human. The apparent fighters for morality, honor and justice use the most cynical and disrespectful language, using means of expression that are only subject to great cynicism, violence and violation of all universal rules and norms. People who called themselves “poisonous” with their actions encouraged the streets and squares of Sofia to become a scene of unprecedented horror. Besila hung herself in central places, at the intersections of the capital, in front of public buildings. Religious temples and cultural monuments were desecrated and shrines, symbols of Bulgarian national honor and dignity, were held hostage to forced political propaganda.

Deeply tolerant, the Bulgarian people have always been behind the face of peace. Prosperity was built through unity and balance in society was never sought through denial. Hatred has always brought destruction and devastation. The intolerance of the dissident is a sign of a dangerous mental vacuum, which in its escalation can take forms such as those already listed above. A European city, a symbol of understanding and a historical setting for the coexistence of different races, ethnicities, peoples and religions from all over the world, cannot and must not be desecrated by representatives of the current situation. Today’s sensation seekers are trying to get attention, but the messages of death and repression of the Middle Ages should not go unnoticed or unheard.

History has taught us that inaction is the most direct path to the triumph of evil and terror. In days of global challenges and trials for the world, the need for security and stability is what should guide the wishes of citizens, and governments and governments have a duty to respond and seek tools to meet that need. However, the performance of the public contract is not hung on a gallows, it is not placed in a coffin, it is not kept in a black bag. It is a responsibility on the shoulders of all of us as Bulgarians, as Europeans, capable of forming our own agenda, subordinate only to common national interests, under the conditions of irrevocable guarantees for human life and dignity, “says Georg’s text. Georgiev.
