/ world immediately information/ On 25.07, the normal assembly of the socialists of Buzluzhda was held in Sofia, in entrance of the Council of Ministers. Or at the least that is the way it was speculated to occur. For the primary time within the historical past of the purple get together, the socialists didn’t rejoice their day on the Historic Meadow. Cornelia Ninova acknowledged that this was needed as a result of the Minister of Well being had forbidden it, which subsequently turned out to be false. Most certainly, Mrs. Ninova was conscious that holding the Buzludzhan council within the heart of Sofia could be tough and ineffective, however nonetheless determined to behave.
And what occurred!?
Round 2500 socialists got here collectively and actually confirmed a excessive spirit and need for change. For the primary time in a very long time, purple flags dominated the middle of Sofia, however the fact is that regardless of the braveness, enthusiasm and need of greater than two thousand socialists, the occasion failed. It must be famous that the protest was attended by many aged individuals who, regardless of all of the difficulties, had been no much less energetic and noisy of their need for change than the youth who’ve been protesting in Sofia for 2 weeks already!
It turned out to be a reasonably medium-sized protest, however alas, for the primary time within the historical past of the BSP, there was no assembly!!!
47 buses, /40 of which, because of the quarantine, carry a most of 25 individuals as an alternative of fifty individuals and seven 15-seater minibuses, which carry 6-7 individuals every/, a part of the get together belongings of the Sofia regional organizations of the BSP /instantly by 40-50 individuals from every of the 24 regional organizations/ and a few among the many youth attended, however the mass of get together members didn’t collect.
In actual fact, evidently Mrs. Ninova anticipated that such a factor might occur, as she reinsured herself a number of days in the past, saying that GERB was doing every thing doable to thwart the arrival of hundreds of socialists within the capital. In fact, this isn’t excluded, but it surely stays an excuse for the failure that Ninova clearly anticipated.
Tens of hundreds of socialists normally collect on the conventional meeting of Buzludzha, and immediately, whether or not due to the epidemiological state of affairs, whether or not due to GERB’s makes an attempt to forestall it or the dearth of significant group on the a part of the get together’s management, it’s a undeniable fact that the occasion has reached its historic backside when it comes to numbers individuals. One other factor that made an impression was that nearly not one of the outstanding socialists made a speech, or somewhat weren’t invited to make a speech. Among the many audio system, solely Prof. Rumen Gechev, Alexander Simov and Ninova herself stood out, which created the impression that as an alternative of reconciliation and unification, because the chairwoman emphasised in her speech, on this vital day for socialists, towards the felony clique that controls the nation, the division within the get together continues. As a result of to ensure that there to be unity, such a tribune must have iconic faces from all the vary of views within the get together. Sadly, solely Ninova, Rumen Gechev and Alexander Simov and some unknown younger individuals had been on the stand for a photograph.
Nevertheless, the saddest factor is that Mrs. Ninova not solely broke the centuries-old custom of the BSP for the Buzludzha council, supposedly beneath the pretext of overthrowing the facility of the GERB (which, sadly, didn’t pay any consideration to the warm-hearted however comparatively few socialists), but in addition in his speech he didn’t point out a single phrase in regards to the occasion that introduced the reds collectively! It was in no way clear the place and what Buzludzha is and does this peak nonetheless have a spot within the lifetime of this get together!?
Ninova, maybe due to her private historical past, which has extra to do with right-liberal circles, mentioned completely nothing in regards to the get together’s previous, in regards to the occasion and in regards to the spirit and traditions of the Bulgarian left. And that is an absolute precedent in all the historical past of Bulgarian socialism! The assembly in Buzludzha was diminished to an strange rally, and the historical past of the get together was completely forgotten and discarded as pointless, thus the chairperson bolstered, willy-nilly, the issues that she was erasing the final remnants of left-wing ideology and phrasing within the get together.
Right here one can not assist however ask why that is being performed, particularly towards the background of insinuations within the right-wing media about how the BSP needed to surrender its historical past and spirit in an effort to turn out to be “fashionable” and “Euro-Atlantic”. At this non-Buzlujan council, because it had been The BSP symbolically accomplished its transformation from a socialist to a centrist get together. The neglect of the get together’s historical past, the dearth of genuine left-wing messages and overly basic and obscure speeches reinforce the impression that we’ve seen only one a easy demonstration of residents with flags, not a celebration of the left, which was to turn out to be the start of the top for GERB’s administration.
Along with the truth that the management of the get together erased its historical past and traditions, the apparent weak point of the BSP was demonstrated as soon as once more and maybe for the ultimate time – even the city proper, which isn’t represented within the parliament, managed to collect big crowds of 10-15 thousand individuals and extra on the protests, whereas the left, beneath the management of Ninova, barely introduced an allegedly organized 2,000-2,500 individuals to Sofia. And supporters and opponents of the get together will ask themselves what is going on after a political drive, for which it was by no means an issue to collect between 30 and 50 thousand individuals on Buzludzha, immediately barely organizes 2500!?
This can be a stunning manifestation of weak point, which, towards the background of the failed vote of no confidence, for which the BSP had extraordinarily poor preparation and justification, removes the get together from all accounts and equations. Henceforth, after immediately’s fiasco, nobody will fear about or from the BSP, as a result of it’s already clear to everybody that on “Positano”-20 they aren’t solely divided and quarreling, able to organizing solely 4-5% of the conventional presence of Buzludzha (and let’s not lie, it is tougher to get individuals to the yellow cobblestones than to a excessive Balkan peak), but in addition in full ideological retreat. A political get together that has determined to surrender its ideology and historical past can not pose a risk to the GERB regime as a result of it is going to be unable to supply an alternate. And perhaps it’s worthwhile for somebody!?
As soon as once more, the management makes the error of developing with elementary slogans and basic speak, as an alternative of giving the residents what they want most in the meanwhile – imaginative and prescient, various and hope!
Ninova’s anti-socialist mantra that immediately “there are not any lefts and rights” didn’t work both, as we are able to see from her midnight adventures, specifically the chasing and booing that the protesters gave her in entrance of BNT. The aggressive anti-communist proper, which, led by “Democratic Bulgaria”, the “poison trio” and different city liberals, grew to become the nucleus of protests towards the federal government, not solely preserved its ideological look, but in addition confirmed itself to be uncompromising, and sadly it does an excellent impression on many Bulgarians, who will hardly keep in mind how the identical political topics had been Borisov’s companions for a very long time.
It is on the opposite facet The BSP, which broke its centuries-old traditions, signaled that it is able to fully change its ideology within the path of the middle and even the proper, and regardless of this, not solely did it not entice assist from a variety of residents, but in addition given the weak “Buzludzhan” meeting, it clearly started to lose the belief of the left as properly.
Borisov can sleep peacefully – his major opposition within the type of the BSP continues to commit suicide at an unprecedented price, and the simply protests of the indignant citizenry have changed into a area for artwork performances and theatrical productions of the Sofia liberals! The unhappy discovering is that each the BSP and Bulgaria as an entire missed a historic probability to overthrow the GERB cupboard and the so-called patriots, regardless of the favorable setting that was created. Clearly, the federal government has no intention of resigning, as a result of nothing threatens it anymore.
Look, originally of the protests, there was speak of resignations, an interim cupboard or one which was broadcast inside this parliament, and a variety of different choices. However now, after apparently the vitality of the protests is waning, the city proper is popping them right into a circus, and the BSP is killing itself and de-ideologising (and let’s not overlook that individuals have at all times voted for the BSP due to concepts and beliefs, not due to the gorgeous eyes of the management) , GERB have absolutely the probability to carry on till the common elections, which can be organized not by an official cupboard, however by themselves. I.e. they are going to almost definitely be closely manipulated. And it isn’t sufficient that the elections can be manipulated, however with the strengthening of the city proper, GERB will get one other potential coalition companion, as follow has lengthy proven.
On the similar time, the true opposition within the particular person of the BSP is dropping on all traces due to the interior get together strife, the de-ideologization and decommunization that Ninova is finishing up, in addition to the dearth of concepts and options.
