To
The delegates to the forty ninth BSP Congress
OPEN LETTER
Expensive Delegates,
We’re turning to you to sign some alarming signs that have an effect on the ideological and organizational well being of the BSP. We’re compelled to make this enchantment as a result of, regardless of quite a few indicators and letters that we now have despatched to Cornelia Ninova, IB of the BSP, to the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP, we now have not obtained a solution to date! In response to our views, which we rank so as of significance:
1. The ideological route of the BSP just isn’t clearly outlined from the speeches of the Supreme Occasion management. Article 2 /1/ of the Occasion’s Statute states that “The Bulgarian Socialist Occasion stands for the socialist excellent.” We’re left with the impression that the Supreme Occasion management has forgotten this statutory obligation. We be a part of the priority of the enduring veteran of the BSP and a well-deserved anti-fascist, Krum Vassilev, that “the phrase socialism and the subject of socialism generally is disappearing from actual occasion life… and these questions, and about socialism generally, are lacking from the general public appearances of most main socialists.” /v-k Duma, “Socialism and patriotism”, no. 18, 23.01.19
Our opinion is that it’s crucial for the BSP, with out wandering in its political existence, with none mimicry to stipulate its left undertaking and as its final objective to set the overcoming of neoliberalism. It’s tough for us to know what are the explanations for preserving silent in regards to the class battle and the socio-economic processes associated to it.
Why is that this battle not enshrined within the “Imaginative and prescient for Bulgaria”? We defend our view that the BSP now and sooner or later should study and apply the scientific toolkit bequeathed to us by Karl Marx and his followers and associates.
On this foundation, the mannequin of Bulgarian society past neoliberalism must be designed, one thing that, sadly, just isn’t mentioned within the BSP. The idea for this discovering is the angle of the occasion management in direction of the two hundredth anniversary of Karl Marx, whose celebration was not mirrored in dignity.
2. We’re very apprehensive in regards to the signs of the fading features of many municipal organizations of the BSP. There are lots of settlements the place there aren’t any main occasion organizations. It’s shocking why the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP has not mentioned this alarming organizational state of the Occasion to date.
3. There are deformations within the work model of the Excessive Occasion management. We are going to concentrate on a few of them:
-
The occasion doesn’t open itself to all left and patriotic forces, in addition to to our coalition companions within the left sector. The literal fact, which the occasion management has not understood, is that within the battle to beat neoliberalism, the BSP can’t be alone! No effort is being made to beat the thesis, which is spreading within the Occasion, that it’s a missile service of nondescript leftist and patriotic forces and actions. The BSP stays deaf to the voices of the left events, organizations and actions to create a united entrance /union/ to vary the political system within the nation.
-
We help the efforts of the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP for better help and belief within the younger technology, however these efforts will not be accompanied by the Occasion’s concern that they study, develop and show themselves in actual social and political observe. They need to take in the beliefs of our ancestors, actively take part within the work of the OPO in locations the place the following technology of the BSP will develop up. For now, this isn’t taking place.
-
We can’t be glad with the noticeable bossy conceitedness in direction of the Municipal Councils, the primary occasion organizations and the person socialists in locations. The highest occasion management has not mastered the ability of communicative practices with them. The dialogue, to the extent that there’s any, is symbolic. It doesn’t have a working, however consultant character. This model of monologue is unacceptable and inconceivable for BSP!
-
The IB of the BSP raises and launches cadres who’ve neither occasion morals nor public belief. We are able to discuss with many examples.
-
The occasion diktat is more and more getting into the model of the Chairman of the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP. This evaluation of ours is confirmed by the quite a few blunders and statutory violations dedicated by Cornelia Ninova and the IB of the BSP to the 128-year-old Kazanlak occasion group, CO-FOUNDER OF OUR PARTY! The results of those violations are extraordinarily unfavorable. Nearly all of the Municipal occasion group of BSP Kazanlak rose up towards these violations with indignation. A letter of protest was despatched, which was signed by over 450 socialists /greater than half of the members of BSP Kazanlak/. Aside from him, many separate letters had been additionally despatched from particular person Kazanlak socialists to Kornelia Ninova within the hope that they might obtain a solution. Their statutory proper to obtain a reply to their letters, proposals and indicators was not revered. The occasion management saved grave silence!
-
The occasions that passed off with the Kazanlak occasion group, in addition to the variety of examples of encroachment on the autonomy of the municipal occasion organizations, deeply disturb us.
-
Undoubtedly, there are various explanation why the BSP misplaced the European elections. They arouse in us, the members of the BSP, severe reflection. It is because PP GERB was mired in corruption scandals. This occasion has grow to be a caste of corrupt and shameless organizations, it has grow to be a political coterie. This paved the best way for the BSP to win. Why did not we win it?!
To start with, unsuitable techniques and technique of IB and Cornelia Ninova. Additionally a mistake was the step taken by the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP with its help for the withdrawal of the Parliamentary Group of the BSP from the Nationwide Meeting! With this ill-conceived and emotional act, the BSP voluntarily disadvantaged itself of a parliamentary platform that will have given it the chance to broadcast its messages to a mass viewers of voters. Three complete months of absence! With this determination, the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP gave consolation to GERB to legislate uncritically. The left-wing voters felt that the individuals’s representatives from “BSP for Bulgaria” didn’t justify the belief that they had voted for them.
The BSP selected the false and unprofitable path of boycotting the legally elected parliament.
The parliamentary group of BSP, as an alternative of utilizing the corruption disaster in GERB, buried itself in deaf protection, which didn’t make a constructive impression on the voters. BSP MPs sank into their inaction and impersonality. The angle, language and conduct of our individuals’s representatives in Parliament didn’t all the time meet the necessities of a century-old occasion group such because the BSP.
-
The failure of the elections for the European Parliament as soon as once more provides us the proper to query the rule recorded by the forty ninth Congress of the BSP, that the Chairman is elected instantly by all occasion members. For us, this determination is a mistake and is unacceptable, as a result of in line with the traditions already established by Dyado Blagoev, the chief of the Occasion is chosen both by the Congress or by the elected occasion management! Embedded right here is the understanding that the chief is first amongst equals and his election can not make an exception to the opposite elected members of the occasion management. The chief bears his accountability and is underneath the management of occasion management. Within the case of the brand new entry within the Statute, the philosophy of the chief being first amongst equals is changed and positioned above the collective governing physique of the BSP, which is the Nationwide Council. There’s a hazard that the Occasion will flip from a broad democratic occasion right into a management occasion. We see a method out of this hazard, as The Congress made a correction in order that this level of the Statute must be dropped, and the delegates ought to elect the Chairman of the Nationwide Meeting of the BSP.
We imagine that the chief of the BSP must be a consensus and charismatic particular person, an individual with collected occasion expertise, a sage of the Occasion. To be balanced, secure and constant in his choices. To not give in to feelings and to have the ability to management them, to be an individual with occasion and civic morals.
Expensive Delegates,
We retain the hope and confidence that the forty ninth Congress of the BSP will dwell as much as the historic accountability it bears for the destiny of Bulgaria and can make sensible and proper choices!
With respect:
