Send to KindleMore than 22 000 Bulgarians, or what is approximately the population of a medium-sized town, have been wiped out in traffic accidents on the country's roads over the last 20 years.
Occasionally, a terrifying car crash takes place claiming more victims than "usual". Then, the Bulgarian authorities announce a national mourning day, like after Wednesday's tragedy which killed eight people.
Ministers pledge to enforce extreme measures for road safety and strict technical requirements for bus companies, introduce sober campaigns and whatnot.
The same procedures take place once every couple of months – whenever the next road massacre happens. Meanwhile, the overall "war on wheels" dead toll continues quietly but constantly climbing.
The whole "it is high time we introduced some measures" talk is obviously going nowhere. A remarkably vast percent of Bulgaria's drivers are retards who enjoy like hell, often under the influence and driven by their inferiority complex or God know what defects. If we add the terrible roads, the corrupt traffic officers and the careless administration on all levels, we have a recipe for an endlessly repeating horror scenario.

If we look at history, there are not many cases in which relations between Bulgaria and Russia at the state level were as bad as they are at the moment.
The term “Iron Curtain” was not coined by Winston Churchill, but it was he who turned it into one of the symbols of the latter part of the twentieth century by using it in his famous Fulton speech of 1946.
Hardly anything could be said in defense of the new government's ideological profile, which is quite blurry; at the same time much can be disputed about its future "pro-European" stance.
Look who is lurking again behind the corner – the tandem of Advent International and Deutsche Bank, respectively the buyer of the Bulgarian Telecom Company in 2004 and the advisor of the Bulgarian government in the sweetest deal of the past decade, seem t
We have seen many times this circus which is being played out during the entire week and it only shows one thing - there is no need of a caretaker government in Bulgaria.
