/ world today news/ The Bulgarian government has resigned. It lost the trust of the people’s representatives. But more importantly, it lost the trust not of GERB and DPS, but of the huge mass of the country’s population. Losses due to inadequate political and socio-economic actions. The government was guided not by the interests of the mass of poor people in the country, but by foreign political, military and economic interests, by the interests of the rich (business) in the country. And now they are grasping at straws like drowning people with the claim that the country does not need new elections, and they, the failed rulers, should continue the so-called of them a change, and essentially a replacement.
In this new social situation, the BSP leadership’s desperate desire to remain in power at the cost of any concessions, trampling the essential, true socialist red lines, with participation in an extreme right-wing government, conducting right-wing politics with left-wing phraseology and demagoguery (achieving left-wing targets with right-wing politics).
In addition to unobserved, violently crossed red lines, the summer sunshine revealed that there is also a tendency to take credit for ourselves that we do not have. The data released by Eurostat on July 14 that Bulgaria is in first place in the EU in May 2022 in terms of industrial production growth, caused unjustified euphoria. On the television screens immediately appeared the happy face of the deputy. the chairman of the Council of Ministers, who explained that this was due to “4 reasons – we stopped racketeering on business, limited theft and leaks, the government supported companies with compensations for expensive electricity, and the business itself made efforts to reorganize and optimize its production…” I listen , I look, read and wonder if this is true, am I not also sun-kissed, like most Bulgarian politicians and businessmen?
Yes, the facts thus presented are true. After Bulgaria, Denmark is in second place (17.2%) and Poland is in third place (12.5%). And is the explanation the real one? The expression “Thomas Neverni” is not just a joke. I need a comparison. The first comparison is the output produced in value terms, which shows that the presented percentage (20.02%) is correct. It is for one year. Only that the value expression does not reveal the physical and material character of the produced industrial output and its consumer size. It is not only important how much bread produced in the country in 12 months costs (respectively cheese, cement, toothpaste, etc.), but how much bread was produced and how much bread was eaten. This is what is in these statistics, under the influence of Eurostat, it is not in the NSI data either. And doubt arises. Question: “Isn’t this a price game and mostly a result of inflation?”
In Bulgaria (according to Prof. B. Chukov) inflation is 17.5%. In Russia (17.8%) and Belarus (17.6%), subject to the most severe economic sanctions in history, it is almost the same. Did we sanction Russia and Belarus? Did they sanction us? Did the EU, Great Britain and the USA sanction us and Russia and Belarus equally? Only Estonia (21.9%), Lithuania (20.5%) and Latvia (19.3%) have higher inflation than us in the EU. The Czech Republic (16.0%) and Poland (15.6%) are close to our inflation rate. All these countries have a higher than average level of industrial production growth in the EU. It is likely that the high level of inflation has inflated the value indicators for industrial output across the EU.
But the inflation itself in the individual sectors of the Bulgarian national economy is very different. According to NSI data from June 30, 2022, the general producer price index in May 2022 compared to May 2021 was 38.2%. The price index on the domestic market in May 2021 and in May 2022 increased by 47.7% (see: The logical conclusion that follows from these NSI data is that not the business and not the ministry, but the increased inflation, the increased price growth led to a sharp rise in the value index of manufactured industrial output. The objection that there is inflation in all European countries is untenable. Inflation is mainly due to the market deficit of energy carriers – oil, natural gas, coal and electricity. France and Norway have the lowest level of inflation due to the cheapest electricity – in France 80% from NPP and in Norway 90% from hydropower. And Norway is not an importer, but a significant exporter of natural gas. The influence of energy carriers on the producer price index is much greater in Bulgaria due to the very high energy intensity of Bulgarian industrial production.Additionally, the prices of energy carriers, especially natural gas, rose due to the inadequate Russophobia of the PP triad and we had to pay a higher price for the same Russian gas sold to us by Greece. At least this is my conclusion, not an economist and not a demagogue.
And something else – political behavior. The BSP leadership tries to present its power-seeking position as responsibility for the country, for the people, for fighting crises, etc. And it is ready to make any concessions, giving up any and even all red lines just to stay in power. We don’t want K. Petkov, but we want Asen Vasilev, i.e. “from a thorn on a hawthorn, because he is taller”. But after Vassilev’s failure, Minister Prodanov enlightens us that we will not object if K. Petkov is prime minister again, and only we remain in power. But they will also agree with one more of the triad – Laurer, and why not Lena Borislavova, who dined in Thessaloniki? He does not like the leadership of the BSP and the idea of DB (Hristo Ivanov) for an expert government without political figures. But someone had to bear political responsibility! You do remember that these are the previous ministers who were well evaluated by the National Assembly of the BSP!
All right-wing Bulgarian politicians, although to varying degrees, praise and highly appreciate the behavior of the BSP leadership in the current political situation in recent months. Only Borisov refrained from boasting, but his attitude towards his former party members from the BSP is no longer so sharp-edged. DPS (open Turkophiles, Americanophiles, Russophobes, supporters of Ukrainian Nazism) as always maneuver and are always ready to deceive yet another leadership of the BSP. And the praise for the leadership of the BSP from ITN, DB, PP, and all sorts of Sorosoids, communist-phobes and Russophobes from the circles of political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, journalists, etc. they don’t stop.
And the leadership of the BSP itself, and especially the IB and National Assembly, forget the established and proven political regularity that when the rightists praise you, know that you are not a leftist. In the political behavior of the leadership of the BSP, which uses left-wing phraseology and participates in the conduct of right-wing politics, they cannot and do not even want to understand that in politics it is mainly whose interests you express, protect and carry out when you are in power. It is not e-voting that drives voters away from the BSP ballot, but the leadership’s collaboration with far-right political parties and leaders.
In conclusion, should the announced growth of industrial production in Bulgaria as the highest in the EU be the subject of applause, or is it a delusion or just a new form of demagoguery? Each reader can judge for himself.
