/ world today news/ “It is true that national interests depend somewhat on the era in which we live. But today, when the highest official speakers call us to be modern patriots, I prefer to stay close to Botev”. This was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the BSP and the 43rd National Assembly, Yanaki Stoilov, who delivered a speech at Hristo Botev‘s lobby in the Yolkovitsa area in the Vračan Balkans to the participants of the traditional national march “In the footsteps of Botev’s troop”.
This year marks the 139th anniversary of the feat of Hristo Botev and his squad. Yanaki Stoilov was adamant that in the sincerity of a poet-revolutionary there can be no shadow of doubt or adjustment.
“There is no power over that head which is ready to detach itself from its shoulders for the sake of freedom and for the good of all mankind,” he quoted the poet as saying. According to him, not everyone can have Botev’s talent, his fearlessness and self-sacrifice, as well as endure so many hardships, sacrificing himself in the service of the fatherland and justice.
“But each of us should know not only who Botev is, but also what he thought and what he did. Each of us should carry at least a little of Botev’s spark and his dignity and have as an example his dedication to the ideal and the homeland”, concluded Yanaki Stoilov.
He will attend the solemn concert at the Drama and Puppet Theater in Vratsa and the solemn dawn rally in memory of those who died for the freedom of Bulgaria.
