/ world today news/ In the commotion surrounding our presidency of the Council of Europe, which will begin in a few days, successive domestic dramas in the style of “when there is no bread, give them a show” attract the attention of a number of thinking Bulgarians.
Suspicions that it is again a question of distracting attention, heating up sought-after moods or adjusting positions can be assumed to be well-founded. The practice has been known for decades. And that they have political ie. party flavor for sure. It is only unclear whether arms are being wrested or ideas are being asserted in a way that is not accepted by classical, including ecclesiastical, diplomacy. Both for the Tsar’s properties and for the reaction of the Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church regarding the decision of our Holy Synod to accept the request to be the mother church of the “schismatic Macedonian Orthodox Church”, according to the Greek bishops, the most vocal were ” the voivodes”. Somehow, by the way, the chairman of the “Bulgarian Memory” Foundation also got involved, who, offended by opinions expressed in the media that differed from his on the way to solve the “Macedonian Church” case, decided to declare his opponents “people who work against their country “. In a comprehensive exhibition in BGNES, all activities “for the benefit of the family”, childcare, churches and monasteries, managerial activities and high awards, including “Citizen of Europe”, personal contribution to events in the Balkans such as the conclusion of the Treaty of Good Neighborhood and Cooperation are listed between Bulgaria and Macedonia, the recognition of a Bulgarian minority in Albania, “the unique invitation from the Macedonian St. Synod to become their mother church”, “a possibility for a pro-Bulgarian candidate for mayor to win the local elections in the region of Mala Prespa /Albania/, where traditionally the attitudes are Macedonian” etc. Really commendable. More Bulgarians like that! And wealthy, and scientists, and with a rich common culture. The bitterness that creeps in after such abundant information of undoubted personal contribution comes from the fact that the true revivalists have not blown the trumpets of Jericho to commemorate their noble deeds. Comparing your own activities to the achievements of the “heroes of the Renaissance” is a little too much. Moreover, in this case it is also about foreign policy and relations, which are burdened by negatives and the past, which still affects policies and relations today. Acting quietly is a principle that has ensured success. The other is “window dressing”, as our famous journalist puts it. There is a lot of noise in the chain and the undoubted benefits can be delayed indefinitely. There is no Bulgarian who is not convinced that our church is one and that our roots are common with most Macedonians. So in Bulgaria live the heirs of at least 1.5 million who came from our old lands from Povardieto, as they still call it. Reaching a solution on the “Macedonian Church” issue, once the “political climate is right”, should be left in the hands of our Church. The Bulgarian patriarch is well-nourished with knowledge in this direction, and hardly anyone knows more than our bishops how the process is carried out in the labyrinths of the Ecumenical Patriarchate / by the way, part of the famous Lausanne Treaty/ and the other sister Orthodox churches. Some of our church leaders are known to sympathize with either the East, or the West, or the South, or the Southeast. Like the politicians. But if we look back, they contributed more to Bulgarian interests and the unity of our nation, unlike a number of our politicians. The reaction of the Greek Church, which in our country has been defined as “the Holy Synod of Greece is starting new church wars”, is not unexpected, and party declarations will not solve this issue. Tension will heat up. It goes without saying that publicity will be given in the style of “fighters for Bulgaria”. “Thin work” is also the ecclesiastical, almost like the “Eastern question”. It won’t happen with “Vanche, Vanche, come and collect your versions”, which has already appeared on the sites. The spread of Christianity was done with patience, consistency and a good word. Our spiritual church leaders by heart and vocation know and know this. The other is “we’re making noise, brother, we’re making noise”, whatever is going to happen. There is no place for insults like with children. Most of us look in one direction, but some avoid jumping over each other. Because there is no way there won’t be other reactions. Usually “behind the scenes” or through machines that have a past. Everyone has their own interests, and playing off ours is a matter of expertise. I hope they have accounted for it.
The saga of the Tsar’s properties is also a manifestation that, against the background of the sending off with state honors and national mourning of the Romanian King Mihai, also looks so provincial that it further distances us from the rules of “established democracies”. Some of which are monarchies. One does not have to be a monarchist to accept that every controversial case can be settled without insulting qualifications in regard to a person whom the world calls His Majesty, and we have even elected him as Prime Minister. After returning from Riyadh, it was difficult for the leader of VMRO to explain to viewers on national television why we should address the Tsar as “Your Majesty” and how much he can give in international contacts, to do “what is necessary for Bulgarian interests “and that against the background of a previous declaration by his fellow party members that he “came to collect his property illegally”. However, some of the students on the sites remembered that if someone should explain about properties, it is the “voivods”, because it is not clear who, how and if manages the properties left by the organization from the times before the Second World War.
This is how we live at home – from scandal to scandal, through insults and unflattering words, until Italy announced that it was taking away the mortal remains of its last king, Victor Emmanuel III, they began the process of declaring Queen Helena blessed, and the Romanians allowed ” Her Majesty Margareta”, successor of King Mihai, to speak before the two chambers of the Parliament of Romania in the presence of the President, Prime Minister, Patriarch. In Serbia, the king attends all state celebrations and matters are settled in a way that does not humiliate, does not affect interests and national sense of statehood. What the hell can two “palaces” be, which, compared to the Romanian ones, are like poor relatives. Again comes up the “chip” thing that so offended some other Democrats that they started asking questions about “what time is it, King congratulations.” Self-humiliation is scary, especially when our state cart squeaks and citizens do not recognize their state. This is the picture outside the television studios. It’s worth thinking about. Retail, partisan, and incumbency games do not build on what ancestors created. Different opinions and assessments can find common ground if there is a thought for unity, empathy, usefulness and taking into account the winds that are blowing in geopolitics. If the language is not addressed with “Your Majesty”, it is better to remain silent. Sometimes this is useful for the state. Ask the historians. The ratings will come in the future and not from us.
