In the last year, the NSO seems to have become the last scapegoat of everything. I have not had security for more than 20 years, so I am not directly interested in whether there will be an NGO, but it is necessary. This was said by President Petar Stoyanov (1997-2002) in “Face to Face” on bTV.
“Before the September 11 assassination, there were ministers and prime ministers who rode their bicycles to work, but then that changed. An internal inspection is never superfluous, but in general he believes that the attitude towards NGOs should be very respectful,” he added. .
“Nothing is as simple as it seems. It is not easy for NATO to decide on direct military support in Ukraine, because it would look like a Third World War. What worries me is the reflection of what is happening in Bulgaria. , but not only from the point of view of the economy and the incoming refugees, but also purely mentally and rhodopsychologically.
This shakes Bulgarian society. I felt not only offended, but humiliated by what happened on the third of March. At the time I remember, I mentioned the Twin Towers, then a French newspaper came out with the headline “We are America.”
Today we must be on the side of the Prime Minister and the National Assembly, “he said on the occasion of the scandalous throwing of a snowball by Prime Minister Petkov on Shipka,” he added.
I think that the people who take part in the debate “for” or “against” Russia, and rather those who defend the policy of President Putin, they have irrational motives. everywhere in Europe, we now see this irrational Russophilia.
Whenever Russia makes an important geopolitical decision, will it always have such a detrimental effect on Bulgarian society and divide us? Won’t we stand behind our national interest? It is clear that all politicians say. that they protect him, but what is he.
It is not indistinguishable from that of Russia. Sometimes he is the opposite. We must defend it, but not with aggressive rhetoric, because it betrays an inferiority complex. The attitude towards Russia must be very responsible, “Peter Stoyanov added.
“Relations between Russia and Ukraine are very complicated historically. A Russian historian had said that during the crisis, Russian emperors, like Putin, resorted to small wars and thus avoided important events. This war may be the last. stage for building Ukraine’s national identity. It remains to be seen whether it will turn against Russia’s strategic plans, “Stoyanov explained.
Let’s be clear, because in this debate, Americans are often said to be inciting them. The Soviet Union continued to exist, and when Bush visited Kyiv, he gave a speech that became known as “Chicken in Kiev.” Fearing that the collapse of the Soviet Union would increase the risk of nuclear weapons. Despite this American position, there was a referendum in Ukraine and 92% voted “for” an independent Ukraine. What is happening there should lead us to several important conclusions “the president said.
“The first is that it is high time we have a national position and be aware that it will not be identical to Russia’s position. We love Russia, but we must love Bulgaria more than Russia. I remember that after we applied for NATO membership was not well received in Russia, and when I met with Yeltsin I asked him what their relations were with France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and I told him that our relations were ambiguous, but we had to become a member of the EU to have clear 20 years have passed, but this ambiguity continues to haunt us, “Stoyanov added.
“It is high time we realized that we are not facing a choice between Bulgaria or Russia. We will have other influences, thanks to the Ukrainian conflict. For example, we almost always divide the Russian intelligentsia, but in 1838 Pushkin wrote a poem about Russia’s slanderers. Slavic streams will flow into the Russian sea or dry up. It will disappear if Slavic streams do not flow into this sea. I think one of the consequences of this war is that the idea of the Slavic rainbow received an extremely severe blow. the ideas of some of today’s Russian thinkers, “he concluded.
