Seriously though, good luck with whatever happens next, you guys are an inspiration. [/quote] Unfortunately, VERY UNFORTUNATELY, the protests were orchestrated by the Socialist/Communist party. The elections will be in a few months and the only party that have a chance to win NOW are the communists which will take Bulgaria back to the ice age. Very, very bad state of events. [/quote] Yea or the current puppets will be re-elected. Either way, nothing changes, nothing ever does in the "democratic" world. [/quote] [b][u]the current gov. was stable[/u][/b]. you have no idea what it means to have communists in power! and if they come back - Bulgaria is DONE. [/quote] :lol: Apparently not And i do have an idea what it means to have "communists" in power - the previous government was "communist", after all. Yet there was no difference and never will until the system collapses. There is only a combination of oligarchy and EU+US-Big brother. There are no "communists" and "democrats". [/quote] Actually I wasn't 100% correct. Things DO change constantly - they just get worse constantly and this doesn't change with the government [/quote]
Original Message
Bulgaria's government resigned from office on Wednesday after nationwide protests against high electricity prices, joining a long list of European administrations felled by austerity.
Prime Minister Boiko Borisov had tried to calm protests by sacking his finance minister, pledging to cut power prices and punish foreign-owned companies but the measures failed to defuse discontent and protests continued on Tuesday.
Many Bulgarians are deeply unhappy over high energy costs, power monopolies, low living standards and corruption in the European Union's poorest country. Twenty-five people were taken to hospital after protesters clashed with police late on Tuesday.
