/ world right now information/ “Everybody of their place!” Do you keep in mind Andersen’s fairy story with that catchy title? In it, the nice magician of the phrase reminds us in his charming, poetic and barely ironic method that when nothing and nobody is as a substitute, common turmoil and chaos immediately ensue. On the finish of the fairy story, a easy whistle seems with a loud and sharp sound, which causes a horrible storm. Luckily, within the finale, every part finds its place – each the banker household, and the peasants-nouveau riche, and the masters and servants…
Our historic future looks as if this:
from the tip of time nobody and nothing is on your home.
Within the interval between the 2 wars, it appears that evidently issues had been extra ordered and our society had a a lot clearer scale of values. Everybody knew their place. The educated and socially elevated particular person was extra revered than the much less educated and low-ranking particular person. The coup of September 9 marked a “new starting”, there have been each good and dangerous, each helpful and pointless adjustments, and the “brilliant future” was by no means reached. It was a pleasant social phantasm we believed. However it could be unfair and unfaithful to assert that completely all standards and norms had been utterly misplaced, that there was complete chaos, large-scale looting, rudeness and indolence, as it’s now. Certainly, our society, from being usually stratified earlier than the struggle /as it’s in each European nation/, turned “homogeneous”, started to unify, unify in a Stalinist method already at the start of the fifties. So, all too quickly the boundaries between completely different lessons and strata, between completely different people, disappeared. We separated solely on one foundation – “social gathering” and “non-party”. “Entitled” and “non-entitled”. Personally, I and my “non-party” mother and father and relations, who went by the dramatic first years after 1944, had been from the “second” class and skilled bitterness and worries, however such was the destiny of some folks in Bulgaria. However then the “thaw” got here and life turned a little bit extra tolerable, protected and calm. Let’s be truthful: there isn’t any denying what has been executed in these 45 years – besides in business, particularly in social work, schooling, science and tradition, and it was not small in any respect. As an individual from the sector of tradition, I can say that simply then – from the 50s to the tip of the 80s – the tradition and artwork of Bulgaria had been at a sure excessive, world stage! And our schooling was severe, prime notch.
However to return to the standards and norms. As a descendant of a revivalist household, of champions and writers, and a modest cultural determine, I can not settle for that our nation has been led by inappropriate and at many occasions by unworthy and even dangerous folks for therefore a few years, and in any respect ranges , who don’t have the respect, belief and assist of society, don’t have the braveness to simply accept this incontrovertible fact that they’re undesirable, that the folks don’t want them, however they proceed to impose themselves on us constantly. They’re thought of irreplaceable, nice! A few of them merely haven’t any disgrace – so many informant brokers, former officers, individuals who crushed and harassed different folks confirmed up, however not a single one resigned. He didn’t repent, he didn’t withdraw. Others, from the brand new “democratic cadres, repeatedly proved their incompetence, in addition to the whole lack of morality and honesty, however continued to impose themselves on us, to supply themselves, to demand energy, as a result of it turned out that in a poor and small nation like ours it’s only from energy that one will get wealthy. Simply take a look at how they consistently shamelessly improve their salaries. A director of a pension fund set a month-to-month wage of…200,000 BGN / no typo right here!/, however a financial institution supervisor – solely 100,000! What concerning the MPs?
But when within the fairy story “Everybody in his place!” Andersen has a king, silly, useless and incompetent. /Sure, throughout these misplaced years we had many intruder kings – incompetent, useless, impudent and thieving. One was even an actual tsar from a household that introduced solely misfortunes and nationwide catastrophes to Bulgaria. And after him, his mendacity and grasping grandson wished to grab state properties and forests, which had been “his inheritance”! From his grandfather, who got here with money owed from the casinos in Vienna, led our nation to 2 nationwide catastrophes and left with a wagonload of stolen riches. Sure, these ridiculous and dummy figures, as if taken out of the Madame Tussauds museum, additionally affirm this well-known fairy story of the nice Andersen, and likewise one other, much more well-known – “The King’s New Garments”. / So additionally throughout the “reign” of the three final governments, headed by our new “king” or slightly a dictator residing like a king / how did we permit this to our disgrace?!/, we went even decrease, all the best way to the underside and now we’re the poorest, essentially the most corrupt, the weakest nation in all respects in all of Europe. On the identical time, he proudly boasted that he had stopped Bulgaria’s three vitality tasks! Are you able to think about?! For that, he shouldn’t have resigned, however slightly dedicated suicide… And we had been far behind our northern neighbor, whom some mocked in useless. And from an “vitality lion of the Balkans”, we’ll quickly turn out to be an “vitality beggar” Sure, we now have fallen behind in each respect. Even the funding has dropped as a lot as 22 occasions because of this corrupt gang that dominated us till now! And within the honorable hundredth place for freedom of speech, along with essentially the most unlucky African international locations! /And the Bulgarian, in response to a latest worldwide survey, will not be solely among the many unhappiest, but additionally among the many least merciful to the struggling of others on the earth /together with Poles, Lithuanians and Estonians/. And the way is that this defined? In all probability with the extreme nervousness, insecurity and individualism of the Bulgarian, unable to unite, stand united behind a standard trigger… /
My massive concern now’s about
the tradition of Bulgaria, all the time uncared for, ignored
“proper within the nook” / S. Maugham/. The so-called The “cultural coverage” of latest years has brought on irreparable injury to Bulgarian society and brought on a, sadly, deep and irreversible technique of lumpenization, of simplifying the nation, which has reached the purpose that it already applauds the Uchindol showman, Ivana / the favourite of the prime minister/, Kondio, Crisco, Gloria and Aziz! The latter was even given a TV present! And the Bulgarian Ministry of Tradition did nothing to cease this disaster. Within the eyes of the general public, it has lengthy been redundant. Actually, what does it do for Bulgarian tradition? And what did the ignorant minister – multak, now a deputy / who curses and speaks in Turkish underneath the coat of arms of Bulgaria! – see the video on the Web/, in addition to utterly ruining the already struggling Bulgarian tradition? He even determined that he needed to shorten / think about, him?!/ The opera of Stara Zagora, the oldest after the capital / based within the distant 1925/, middle of the one opera competition within the Balkans, the Theater and Operetta of our outdated capital, the Nationwide operetta / one of many main on the earth/ and the distinctive “Arabesque”! And then again, the Ministry doesn’t care about a lot of the institutes in our nation. A lot of them are collapsing – both due to a scarcity of funds and dangerous, and in some circumstances, dishonest or incompetent administration. These institutes are speculated to be on the territory of the municipalities, and their mayors are powerless, for instance, to expel a director-destroyer, thief and dictator, as a result of he’s a “loyal cadre of the Get together”! And in addition to – the robust harmful starting laid within the two “reforms” distinctive of their stupidity and unsuitability – the theatrical and musical, and this one, extremely ridiculous!, with the “delegated budgets” and the reluctance of the authorities to undertake something within the subject of tradition. For our ignorant rulers, it’s the “ninth gap of the cabal”. Sure, for these spiritless folks it turned out that an important factor is to loot as a lot as they will and after them there might be a flood. It will not have an effect on them, they have been so busy, robbed, self-forgetting… A felony scum who has been combating tooth and nail for energy for a number of years. And it even imposes censorship on us! Additionally they reached out to science. Some Menda referred to as the scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences…”beggars” /?!/ as a result of they requested that the meager funds for science be elevated a little bit and that the salaries of younger scientists shouldn’t be as excessive as avenue sweepers. “I am filled with science and deaf!” stated the nice Radoy years in the past. However he stated it a couple of particular particular person, not concerning the state energy, which earlier than, nevertheless, supported science and tradition. And now the epigram refers to an entire group of individuals with stunted senses of tradition, science, spirituality.
Sure, it’s clear that these “kings” are misplaced, as the nice Andersen, whom we celebrated just lately, would say. We Bulgarians know from expertise that it’s simple to destroy and tough to rebuild what has been destroyed. Our nation is already destroyed. We have now no business, agriculture, vitality, protected roads and tunnels, protected meals crops, regular well being care, social work, science and schooling are being ruined. We do not have an sufficient police drive, to not point out the military!, which might defend us from the approaching emigrants and terrorists, and from the insolence of the gypsies. Sure, statehood – we do not have it in any respect. We have now turn out to be a protectorate that oscillates between East and West. It’s clear that the harmful starting is already the main one in our nation. Extra exactly, with most of our folks’s intruders, sorry, “chosen ones”.
Nowadays I re-read Andersen’s fairy story within the impressed translation of the author Svetoslav Minkov. It ends like this: “Everybody of their place! And there it will likely be sometime. Is not Eternity lengthy, for much longer than this silly story?!”
Hopefully! But when we do not stand idly by and sweep them away! And to go to their place! A few of them on the dustbin of historical past. Lastly! The endurance of the Bulgarian, who suffered and suffered for 5 centuries underneath a barbaric slavery, is certainly proverbial, however not limitless.
And let this occur – even in these elections that determine our destiny!
