Thousands Join Bulgarian Anti-Government Protest

[Peerkons]

Thousands of anti-government protesters rallied in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia, Saturday, calling for the nation's right-wing government to resign as an economic crisis grips the nation.

Witnesses say about 4,000 people joined the protest, organized by the opposition socialist party. Demonstrators shouted for the government to resign and complained about high prices and low wages.

Earlier this month, thousands of motorists in Bulgaria held similar rallies in major cities, protesting rising prices for food and fuel.

Bulgaria, the European Union's poorest member nation, has been hit hard by the European financial crisis and has been slow to recover.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his minority GERB party were elected on promises of economic reforms, but have so far have failed to deliver. Mr. Borisov's government has also been plagued by charges of corruption.

I don't think it's an important issue. 4000 protesters are definately not enough for a real change. Most of my brainwashed compatriots admire the government. The prime minister is a typical zionist puppet, a top class actor - he's playing the role of some kind of a superhero, who will defend the people from the criminals and will bring justice to our land.

Tell me then, what is going on in Bulgaria?
What are the problems, what/who causes them? What is the solution?

I do not support GERB but they were not chosen because of their promises about the economic reforms but for their promises to build new high class roads. The roads are our smallest problem right now. The problem in Bulgaria are the turks, gypsies and the jews in our government. If they still rule us we will soon dissapear. Our whole country is created to be comfortable for non-Bulgarians. Today I saw a TV reportage about one 70 years old woman who is a victim of her neighboors ( 7 gypsies in 2 rooms) stealing her electricity. Now she must lives with 1 euro during the rest of the month, 'cause all of her moneys are gone for the electricity bills. When she reported that to the EVN (the only one electricity supply in Bulgaria) about her case they answered "This is your problem, we dont care"

Absurd. :(

Are there any nationalist organisations? Anti gypsie, turk?
I guess the only hope is supporting them and getting more assistance for them.

There are 3 parties who share some National Socialistic views but they aren't popular enough. The people like more Boyko and his swarthoids untermenschs.
