l Nothing in politics is black and white, nothing that slogans say otherwise. And the incident with Hristo Ivanov and Lambovski proves it
l In 1996, Ivan Kostov experienced almost similar embarrassment when one of the Margins arrived at the Blues restaurant at the Olimp restaurant; then the UDF leader would exclaim that life was stronger than scruples and admit that he had insured both his cars in the PEC
Without realizing it, walking twenty days ago through Eagle Bridge among the heroes of the party’s core, Hristo Ivanov
sunk in the oldest and
fierce collision of
politics concepts
in western civilization
Idealism or pragmatism? Are the means more important or the achievement of the goal? Does it matter how you go or just how you win?
On the one hand, the reformist forces in the square are oppressed by the tradition of idealism in politics, which comes from Plato and Aristotle. It affirms that no concessions should be made with virtues.
The protest was declared a celebration of high morals and pure values (Mutrite out!), But here Dimitar Lambovski appeared live, took pictures with Ivanov and talked about Majo (“So, I turned off my phone because it was called Maggio” .)
In the tradition of the cult of values, the leader of “Democratic Bulgaria” disgustingly retires, quickly distinguishes himself (“personally, I have no idea which murmur has spoken to which other murmur”) to clear any suspicions. He even promises to review agreements. You want to open the transition files.
I should say bluntly that Lambovski is a provocateur, but he is not.
Why? Why
Lambovski is the key
a supporting witness
The eight dwarfs –
one of the fundamental myths of the political-media circle “Ivanov” in the current crisis. The film tells of how business is run, a clear example of a corrupt government that needs to be overthrown.
But if Lambovski is a provocateur, why believe the messages of the “dwarves”? It turns out that he is an extremely unreliable witness and the investigation based on him is a colossus with feet of clay. A dark figure or a reliable witness? The political-media circle does not want to delve much in this direction and divert the conversation to point out its arch enemies, this trick always works.
But in the future, they will return to big politics to fundamentally change Bulgaria, they will be pressured by the opposite of the idealists. the pragmatic concept of politics – realpolitik, that comes from Machiavelli to Kissinger. He affirms that politics is driven by interests, there is no absolute good and evil, the good is what leads to the goal. Compromise, a deal is allowed, as long as it leads to a greater goal.
The great world powers
make deals with
totalitarian regimes,
to stabilize the regions The judiciary deals with gangsters for amnesty if they sing against their own. Or, let’s remember how in our country before the 2005 elections the king promised not to form a coalition with the BSP, but after many weeks of agony in the attempts to give birth to a new parliament, the triple coalition BSP- was finally born. NMSS-MRF. It’s just that life is what happens in politics while promises are made.
However, the logic of the revolt now excludes compromises. This is repeated every night on live radio and television broadcasts of the protest.
At first it was President Radev with the uncompromising “Mutri out! Give up! “Dissatisfaction
speaks entirely in morals,
that even in aesthetics
categories
From the slogans on the street and from the media interviews, the message is clear: the government is corrupt, evil and undercover: we want honesty and transparency! The government is rude, stupid, reckless: we want a dignified attitude and leaders with western standards of behavior and education! On the one hand, we are only blank, against us, impenetrable darkness.
Moral maximalism is a good thing … until someone seems to whisper Maggio in his ear.
If you remember
almost the same shame
September 1996
when Ivan Kostov
Krassimir stopped
Marinov – Margina
at the “Olympus” restaurant. There, its owner Slavcho Hristov organized a fundraising meeting for the presidential campaign. So “Capital” describes this as “The new face of the UDF has a pimple.” The text lists entrepreneurs from the blue and red spectrum who were present. “The appearance of Krassimir Marinov – Margina, one of the faces of the PEC, shocked the physiognomists,” the reporter wrote. And it complements the explanations on the composition of the company of the leader of the UDF, Ivan Kostov.
“We invited people we know who thought they could take public responsibility to show up at such a place.”
For the tough Kostov, this was not a gathering of like-minded people, but rather a very liberal approach to inclusion on the guest list. Probably without saying it, the Commander insinuates that people have come who have paid for the blue campaign. And the presence of Margina Ivan Kostov does not report as irregular. According to him, it would be more dangerous if Maggio and Pasha were invited to Olympus.
At the time, Capital quoted a source in the UDF leadership as saying
“The PECs have been divided into
red SIK and son SIK “.
Kostov shared,
that his two cars are
insured in the PEC
“Life is stronger than scruples, especially when it comes to cars,” said the head of the UDF.
Two days later, at a press conference, the executive director of the PEC, Dimitar Popov, announced aloud that the property of the UDF was insured with them. He then told reporters that Ivan Kostov had personally gone to negotiate with him to give him a discount. “
The owner of that restaurant “Olympus” Slavcho Hristov, who
achieves awesome
business success under Kostov,
but what connections does he have in his career. According to Edvin Sugarev, Slavcho Hristov has been vice president of the Slavia football club for two years. It is believed that since then he has been a friend of Milcho Bonev (better known as Bai Mile), president of Slavia and partner of the PEC and Intergroup. He was shot and killed in the “Slavia” garden restaurant on July 30, 2004. “
The story of Ivan Kostov and life, which is stronger than scruples, is only part of the reality – during 30 years of transition in Bulgaria.
Appeared
at least two “deep
countries “
They understand politics in their own third way. They are highly motivated. And they are not simply behind one side of the barricade, at least judging from all the public facts. We still have to swing from the waves raised by these bleak depths.
The problem with creating a feverish expectation that angels from heaven will come to rule us is that you have to find them somewhere.
When you speak only of morality, you must be 100% sure that you will not shine with hypocrisy, servitude, nepotism, double standards.
What Hristo Ivanov, Cornelia Ninova, Maya Manolova and the other political leaders who support the protest say are not from yesterday, they are not even from the past and they certainly know what it is about.
According to social anthropologist Haralan Alexandrov “The revolutionary collective is appropriating a great moral superiority. The great risk to any revolutionary effort is moral narcissism.
When you say “murmur” and define everyone outside of you as bad, you become very vulnerable to moral criticism. I think this is already happening. We must be very careful not to get into this sectarian attitude that the purifying fire is coming, we will drive out the old world from the corrupt and restore eternal justice.”
“The mutts are out!” and “Out with the mafia!” they are simple and clear revolutionary slogans. “Let’s take back our country!” it sounds as short, clear and simple as “All the power of the people!” Those slogans are actually populist because they can appeal to the masses, but the question “What’s next?”, Which irritates populists, are in short, clear formats. And reading the story, we are sure that everything can continue. Dictatorship of the proletariat. Return of the monarchy. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Coupon system. Currency board and a new civilization choice.
There are many options for development, to be realized:
depends on leadership
Good leaders know how to manage a political crisis. The weak are left in charge of the crisis.
Economist John Kenneth Galbraith is credited with the idea: “Politics: this is a choice between the fatal and the unpleasant”. Which means that in politics you rarely have to choose between black and white. There are many shades of gray.
But where is he
the line
it shouldn’t be
happen?
You cannot do politics without compromises, it is important where you put the border. If you are far away in one direction, you will sink into sticky addictions. If he is far from the other, you become a fanatic or, like the Bolsheviks in 1917, an uncompromising “deal.”
In fact, modern Western standards of policy making have developed subtle mechanisms to control political morality and have established many regulations and procedures focused on seeking conflicts of interest.
