I am flicking through foreign TV channels. Bombings over Beirut, killed civilians, mothers, children, rallies, Bush says something, UN says something else... And then I flick through the Bulgarian channels. Only to hear the obituaries of yet another dozen Bulgarians who found their deaths on the roads of their motherland last night.

Authorities, so fond of adopting and citing foreign experience on other occasions, may quickly learn the recipe about the cure. Why not then bring back to life mental health tests, clamp cars, take licenses, and hope cops are not that corrupt?

Good Nationalists, Bad Nationalists and Pro-European Governments
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.
Hypo Alpe Adria – The Final Rip-Off
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
A Caretaker Government Is Not Needed at All
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.
