[quote:Russian guy 24071670:MV8yMTQ0NjI3XzM2MjU0NzA2XzNBMjE4ODc=] I would ask the Czech "comrades" who now behave as more Western than the Westerners: how did the world react when they did their own transition to democracy and to a much wealthier society? Czech and Poland are the richest among the ex-socialist republics, due to many factors. So now they can forget the poor neighbor. You know, the history never goes one sided only, the politics of the day does, but not the history. The EU could pour into Greece billions. How couldn't it do so for a tiny Bulgaria with ...now 7 mln people if not counted the immigration? The long reports of EU commission always quote organized crime, that the money disappear, and so on. So why don't they deal with it finally? What profits the common citizen of all that? I listen the politicians on the TV and at one moment I stopped it. No one said: I will rise the salaries and cut the bills. This way leads to a disaster, much bigger than Bulgaria alone. And the history of Europe knows of such disasters not that long ago. [/quote]
Original Message
Massive riots have been going in Bulgaria in the last couple of days. The biggest ones that the country has seen in the last 20 years. More than 300 thousand people went out and protested against the ongoing stealing by the bankers and the electricity companies /CEZ, EON and EVN/, piling pressure on the government after a week of persistent demonstrations.
Protesters chanting "It will be the same every day until we win” , paralyzed city centers and demanded the resignation of the cabinet and the re-nationalization of power distributors.
There have been some clashes with the riot police, but in the city of Varna something unprecedented happened. The chief of the city police said that they are on the side of the protesting people, but there still must be no destruction and looting. To show their support of the people, the riot police putted their shield and helmets on the ground! From the other side people gave them flowers.

On 24.02.2013 there is going to be a nationwide protest and it is expected more than 800 000 people to go out on the streets. People gave the government a 7 days period to get rid of the electricity companies and to nationalize the infrastructure.
