/View.info/ When in November 2014 the second government of Boyko Borisov was taking its first steps, the analysts on duty one after the other competed to explain how the prime minister was “other”, “different”, imposing a “new” dialogical style of management.
In just a few months, Borisov personally managed to dispel this mythologime. The next myth that is being debunked day after day is that of the successful reforms that today’s ministers are carrying out or still planning to carry out. The brutal murder in the center of Sofia is undoubtedly the most striking example of the failure of the first six months of Borisov’s second cabinet. Moreover, the failure is in an area in which the Prime Minister has always claimed to be the best – the fight against crime.
While everyone was looking towards Garmen, where the Ministry of Internal Affairs deployed heaps of police and gendarmerie to separate and reconcile Bulgarians and Roma, while Bulgaria was preparing to pause for a moment of silence in memory of its heroes who died for its freedom, a few meters from the monument to Hristo Botev in Boris’s Garden, someone’s knife took the life of 16-year-old Georgi. The perpetrator is likely to be apprehended soon. Such crimes are revealed relatively easily and quickly, especially if forensic experts follow the “hot leads”, which are undoubtedly present in this case. And so what? Another young human life has been taken. Cold-blooded. Because prevention is missing. The decisive intervention of the state is missing, but not after the crime, but before it. The role of the state is not to keep Bulgarians and Roma from killing each other, nor to chase the next robber or murderer, but to create an environment that does not allow such crimes.
The responsibility of the ruling party and the opposition is to ensure such a standard of living, through public security, so that the situation does not arise in which the saleswoman Tsvetanka, ignoring any instinct for self-preservation, manages to save the turnover at the expense of her broken finger. Would this brazen attack have been discovered if the shop owner had not – firstly, installed a camera and secondly – uploaded the footage to Facebook. No! And with a high probability today, Boryana and Rangel Rangelovi would not be in pre-trial detention, but would rob yet another saleswoman, until finally, willingly or unwillingly, they pulled the trigger. Did any of the 240 deputies in the parliament, from the ministers and their associates think about how much the salary of a saleswoman in a cigarette, alcohol and confectionery store is?
The good governance of a country is felt by the level of security in which the society develops. If people started leaving the windows open and the doors of their homes unlocked, we would probably have reached the ideal way of life. But today we are on the opposite side of dreams. There is no security for life, both for your life and for your health, and also for your work, because the factory you live in may turn out to be part of another pyramid like KTB. There is no security even when you decide that you can put your money in the bank, because tomorrow it will either be drained by its owner or kidnapped by his enemies, or maybe both. This is how it happens that instead of security, which would enable the development of the individual, and therefore of the whole society, the rulers give the society promises. Before they were promises of retribution, today they are promises of reforms. In this way, you will certainly be able to deceive the citizens in your own and that of your greedy partners in power. The frequent management failures that society has witnessed in recent weeks clearly show that the management model of the “Borisov 2” cabinet is clearly wrong. Whether the responsibility for this rests with the head of the executive or with his ministers is difficult to ascertain. But it is very likely due to both.
In the three months since he has been at the head of the Ministry of the Interior, Deputy Prime Minister Rumyana Bachvarova, a former chief of the Prime Minister’s Office and a former sociologist, has shown that the last thing he should have undertaken as a management commitment is to lead a department with 60,000 subordinates, whose work nothing doesn’t understand. This was most clearly seen when Bachvarova learned from the television that 100 police officers, led by a timid lawyer, had rushed to shut down the television. The same thing happened again when Bachvarova decided to do research “on the ground” in Garmen. With the difference that people there do not need sociology, but compliance with the rules and efficient work of the institutions. In fact, why did the interior minister have to personally reassure TV7 journalists or the residents of Garmen?! What then are all 60,000 employees of the Ministry of the Interior doing for their chief to personally investigate?!
The situation would not be so serious if it only concerned the work of the Ministry of the Interior. The problem is that this is an overall problem of the management model that Borisov imposed, from his time in the Ministry of the Interior, then in the municipality, during his first management mandate, and apparently continuing today. How else will anyone open the “Motsi” grandstand in Razgrad or the re-asphalting of the “Maritsa” highway. As many metro stations as there are in Sofia, so many ribbons will have to be cut by the prime minister personally. As if Borisov will ever get on the subway. Well, if he does, it will disrupt the schedule of the trains, which during peak hours can hardly accommodate his guards.
The wrong management model of the “I” multiplies in almost all management sectors. What do more than 3,300 employees of the “Customs” Agency do that Vanyo Tanov has to go back to his days as a State Security operative. Is it the job of the director of customs to wake up the morning TV viewers from “Captain Andreevo” to assure us how he personally solved the problem with the boycotting customs officers or the accumulated queues with TIRs.
With such a management style, it is better not to think about what is happening at the Gorublyane customs office, at the Kulata or at the Sofia Airport, while Tanov is on the Bulgarian-Turkish border. And perhaps the problem in the kilometer-long queues at the border also comes from the short-sighted foreign policy that Bulgaria leads towards a powerful country like Turkey. Let’s hope that after the government finds a job for our former first diplomat Nadezhda Neynski as ambassador in Ankara, soon all the contradictions between the two neighboring countries will subside. Is it?
In fact, neither Bachvarova nor Tanov are to blame for the frankly ridiculous situation in which they found themselves. The responsibility lies with Borisov himself, who thought that when he personally went to the Nov Pat district in Vidin in 2002, he would prevent the action with the Roma family Zrankovi. So he decided that after half a year Zrankovi’s katun toured the whole country, and to top it off he even passed through the yellow cobblestones in Sofia. Years later, “Katunitsa” also happened, where again the state played the role of fireman. In fact, a solution was never found because the fire of the conflicts remained smoldering, as it will now happen in Garmen. It remains to be guessed where the next sparks will fly along the Bulgarian-Roma axis, after the Deputy Prime Minister and Social Minister Ivaylo Kalfin hastily analyzed that what happened in Garmen was an ethnic issue. Solutions, however, are neither offered nor implemented and so on to the next broken heads, burnt and destroyed houses, elected old men and the panicked Home Secretary, if she is still in office.
The deafening silence that the first advocates for reform in the Ministry of Internal Affairs sector – MPs Atanas Atanasov from RB and Tsvetan Tsvetanov from GERB – cannot help but raise questions. Only a few months ago, the first from the “height” of his expertise would have put all the blame for the increase in crime on the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it took that Svetlozar Lazarov is no longer there. Atanasov is silent, as he hastily forgot how 6-7 years ago Borisov was thundering about those over 100 unsolved contract murders committed in our country in the period 2001-2005. The second reformer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is waiting for his fate to be decided by Themis. However, while waiting for the decision of the judges, Tsvetanov took it that he was able to personally submit proposals for the repair of the Constitution, namely in the part about the judiciary. It is hard to even believe that it could be run by people who feel no compunction about the fact that the institution they are preparing to reform has twice found them guilty!
Another participant in today’s government – former interior minister Rumen Petkov – has remained silent. How will he seek responsibility for Rumyana Bachvarova’s inability to guarantee security even in broad daylight in the Boris garden, Petkov has another task. He has taken to bashing the opposition BSP, diverting attention from the real problems. Precisely because they are part of the eternal status quo – the former open enemies Atanasov, Petkov and Tsvetanov today have preserved omerta regarding the cabinet’s failure in the fight against crime. Krasimir Karakachanov and Valeri Simeonov put another dose of ultimatums, but with the clear awareness that they are doing it theatrically and in an attempt to silence the smoldering public dissatisfaction.
About the promises of the other heroes of the administration – Radan Kanev, Petar Moskov, Meglena Kuneva, Hristo Ivanov, etc. it is more and more pointless to comment because they have long shown that they have neither the necessary professional support nor their aim to provide security to the public.
By all accounts, it seems that with this style of management and with these participants in power, the second cabinet of GERB and company is increasingly dooming itself to failure. As good as Borissov is at political intrigue and maintaining the status quo, the prime minister is finding it increasingly difficult to balance the mutually exclusive elements in the ruling Quadruple coalition and its behind-the-scenes interests. The old tactic, to which Borisov had to return, was also unsuccessful this time – everything bad is the fault of my predecessors, everything positive is due to the “I”. This is exactly what the Prime Minister’s joy shows, as you can see, Bulgaria was ahead of Romania by as much as 15% in absorption of European funds. On the one hand, it is not very diplomatic towards our northern neighbor for such a fact to be pointed out by the prime minister of the country, on the other hand, it shows that the credit for the better result obviously goes to those who you always blame for the failures and problems of your own country. th government – before the Triple Coalition, now Oresharski or BSP-DPS-Ataka.
The theoretical 15% does nothing to help society feel better. Because, even if the country absorbed 90% of the European funds, this does not mean that they all went as intended, nor that they improved the quality of life of Bulgarians. The wrong model of management, in which the “ME” is everything, will not return Georgi to his parents, friends and classmates, nor will it make Tsvetanka not afraid when, even at this hour, she sells in the 24-hour shop where she was attacked , nor will it prevent clashes like those in Novy Path, Katounica, Garmen and…
Today we celebrated the Day of Botev and those who died for the freedom of Bulgaria! We marked it with bowed heads also because of the death of a boy who passed away at only 16 years old. We are all guilty! Because we continue to suffer delusions that we live a better and safer life. Patience that kills…
