State (P)Reserve

By Ivelina Puhaleva

A state, non-political institution has changed its heads three times for less than a month. To put aside the all-is-done manner of announcing it, the appointments by the prime minister have raised serious questions. How could a key for any country's security body be beheaded so recklessly? Where is the evidence, probably documents, to convince the public in the official motives of "poor financial discipline"? Or is this just another of a series of witch hunts that reign the headlines for some time? Whatever differences divide the principal - the Cabinet, the supervisor - Deputy PM Emel Etem, and each of the two sacked chiefs, they have remained as secret as they were before. I could imagine the stress that employees lived through few days ago, when police rummaged the State Reserve office in search of - no, it was a criminal - but their sacked boss, Dimitar Dimitrov. Not to mention the outspoken hatred speech and accusations pouring from a lady's lips to his address - and that of his ex-substitute, fired a couple of weeks his acting appointment. Good manners and respect for one's reputation should be a must in a politician's public life - until then we could remember Bulgarian law defends one's honour against labels.
