Kiril Petkov went to Ukraine and started with comparisons and promises. Politicians are not united on whether military support should be sent. The prime minister is betting on opposition jokers to get his proposal passed in plenary by a vote of conscience.
The social experiment of BLIC TV and reporter Dimitar Patarinski showed that people have a position, but no one hears them – should we donate a salary and military aid to Ukraine.
The dilapidated building of the Women’s Market attracts our attention. On the rest of the facade there is a stamp with the Ukrainian flag, on which a woman armed with a Kalashnikov rifle leads her child. And the letter “Z” is on them.
For a moment one forgets that he went shopping because the war and the propaganda of politicians have left their mark on our daily lives.
Market opinions are valuable because people are inclined not to lie to them and to dig deep into their pockets while shopping for groceries.
“This country did not happen to the rulers” – said a man who bought basic products that are offered on the “Women’s Market”.
Another man, eager for cheap greens, labels Kiril Petkov a “fool.” He did not approve of any decision of the Prime Minister related to Ukraine and Zelensky.
A woman with two bags in her hands told BLIC TV: “Bulgaria is a small country, why does everyone want help from it? Why didn’t the EU give them help?
She continued – “we will give our ass for the rest of our lives and in the end what – nothing.”
Another visitor to the Women’s Market will go to look for work in Ukraine. In our country she is unemployed and has a hard time surviving inflation.
A man who is well-off financially says he has taken refugees from Ukraine into his home, but he has one thing in mind. His worries are that we are living in uncertain times and that war may be knocking on our door.
The reality reporter met us with another passer-by who warned: “I hope our rulers do not send military aid. It is not our job for us to push where the ats are kicking, the donkeys are suffering.”
It reminds us of the events of 2014 in Ukraine, when the Maidans took power. From there, he makes the connection that we cannot blindly follow American interests in geopolitics.
“Without weapons, these orcs will not happen,” said the market visitor, who supports military aid to Ukraine. There is a saying that all military conflicts are over the fairer sex afterwards.
Prime Minister Kiril Petkov, who likes to walk the streets of Sofia, will not soon pass through the Women’s Market. There and his security will not save him from the displeasure of sellers and buyers. People are angry at the proposals to donate salaries and military aid to Ukraine.
It is no secret what money the taxpayer has spent on the executive branch. Kiril Petkov signs a slip in the amount of BGN 8,704.80 monthly salary.
Well, those who are looking for cheap goods on the most popular market in Sofia – can they separate from their morsel for the Ukrainian people? We will understand this very soon from the moves of Kiril Petkov, because inflation is increasingly confusing deep in the pocket.
No wonder the next time at the Women’s Market we are greeted by this man with his words addressed to Prime Minister Petkov, who sent him where he came from.
But one thing is for sure, Kiril Petkov will not buy fresh salads and vegetables if he becomes a real brother in arms with Zelenski. He has amassed a lot at the Women’s Market.
