Here is the full text:

Dear compatriots,

One hundred and twelve years separate us from the memorable September 22, in which the ancient capital Veliko Tarnovo heard the words: “Always peaceful, My People today long for cultural and economic progress; in this direction nothing should hinder Bulgaria; nothing should hinder such It is the desire of My People, such is their will: to be as He wants.

The proclamation of independence is one of the most brilliant triumphs of the Bulgarian state. A bold but forward-thinking act, around which Bulgarians rallied regardless of their political affiliations and beliefs. A rare moment in which citizens and governments managed to “think the same and wish the same” in the name of the welfare of the Nation.

In 1908, young Bulgaria was on an equal footing on the world stage thanks to a generation of statesmen of character, the will of the entire nation to forge with work and dignity a modern, just and prosperous state.

Today, all of us, citizens and politicians, let us recognize our own historical role and, with a sense of duty towards our family and our country, let us take our destiny in our own hands.

“Long live a free and independent Bulgaria!

Long live the Bulgarian people! “

Happy Holidays!
