The people from a small village are faced with an invasion of snakes and decide to get rid of them by bringing hedgehogs, who polish them off. The solution of the problem, however, turns into a problem itself and the people are forced to bring foxes to wipe out the hedgehogs.
The same scenario repeats until the whole village is wiped out by the waters of a dam whose gates are open by the villagers themselves in order to drown the latest batch of saviors - the hunters.
The animation movie is called the "Clever Village" (1972). The man behind it - the late Donyo Donev.
I was reminded of this story – yet again – this week over the death throes of Bulgaria's "die-hard right-wing" and its leader, former prime minister Ivan Kostov.
Donev was a true prophet - Bulgarians will never grow tired of creating, cherishing and destroying their "saviors" with enthusiasm and faith reminiscent of religious fanatics.
From hosanna to crucify him – this is in short the portrait of many Bulgarian leaders, but it holds particularly true for Ivan Kostov, founder and leader of Democrats for Strong Bulgaria.
In his capacity of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov has been credited, mostly abroad, with throwing out the ex-communists who had pushed the country to the brink of financial crisis in the 90s.
But at home, he is the biggest sinner on the political scene. Because of his tough character - Kostov is the only one who dared to show his huge disappointments with Bulgarians and fell silent for two years - and the opportunities that he had but wasted - to put it mildly - for turning Bulgaria into a Poland or the Czech Republic.
Made up of remnants of the once ruling UDF, Democrats for Strong Bulgaria and the United Democratic Forces were the biggest player in the right-wing, but then got plagued by crises and election defeats.
Only to allow today a much less professional (and pretty simple) politician – to put it mildly again – to invade the right-wing part of the political spectrum and rule the country, pretending that communists are his biggest foes.
Kostov's supporters say DSB was created in an act of cleansing from the dirty things right-wingers had done.
It is still to be seen whether the latest events will have the same cleansing effect. Or will spell – officially - the death of "the common sense right-wing".
Unofficially it has been pronounced dead long go.

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.
You have certainly noticed how many times President Rosen Plevneliev used the phrase “a broad-minded person” referring to almost every member of his caretaker government.
