/View.information/ In reference to the presence of former associates of the DS within the electoral lists of the celebration
Within the lists of the “Revival of the Fatherland” celebration, there are 9 candidates for deputies who had been collaborators of the State Safety on the time of Socialism. In relation to {qualifications} and insinuations on this matter within the public house, I wish to state the next: I’m not ashamed or bothered by the presence of those names on our lists. Quite the opposite, I’m proud. As a result of the collaborators of the DS served their individuals and their nation. Working for the DS, they fulfilled their patriotic obligation, and any try and impute a legal or compromising previous to them is an expression of misguided loyalty to a brand new period that brings individuals extra struggling than satisfaction and prospects.
The socialist state, for the overwhelming majority of our individuals, was simply and humane. To serve her meant to serve one’s individuals.
If anybody has forgotten, I’ll remind you that within the socialist military we swore by our honor, and in the present day the phrase “honor” has disappeared from our vocabulary. We changed it with “Euro-Atlantic values” – a time period that international locations that worth their sovereignty and nationwide dignity, corresponding to France and Germany, don’t use.
A person might lose his house, his enterprise might fail, he might squander his wealth, however no matter he loses from the above, he can restore it. If a person loses his honor, nonetheless, he loses it perpetually.
Honor is like life. In the event you lose it, you go perpetually into nothingness. There is no such thing as a second life. The identical is true of honor.
That’s the reason I’m proud that within the lists of the “Revival of the Fatherland” celebration there are officers who haven’t forgotten what honor is – officers who know tips on how to defend the sovereignty of Bulgaria and tips on how to serve the Bulgarian individuals and the Bulgarian state. That is what our nation lacks – it additionally lacks statesmen who’re guided solely by the nationwide curiosity. And we sincerely hope that within the upcoming elections this will likely be corrected.
* Shopping for and promoting votes is a criminal offense!
