Bulgaria: Giving Up/Moving On Photo by Yuliana Nikolova (Sofia Photo Agency)

By Petya Sabinova

Bulgaria has experienced another turbulent week and although we wished to start The Sofia Weekly with a big smile, bad news seem more than the good ones.

One thing that this week has taught us is that a lot of Bulgarians are giving up. Top-ranking ex-officials are giving up on their life, Stilian Petrov is giving up on the national football team, bTV are giving up on media ethics and mothers continue to give up on their babies. I can pardon Stan - if his issues with Stoitchkov are really impossible to overcome, then he is doing the noble thing stepping down. But I surely don't think a medium that succumbs to political arm-twisting, or a mother, who is afraid to face the hardships she has brought upon her own child, deserve any courtesy.

If you take a look at the news you would think that suddenly everyone in Bulgaria has lost the will to fight for anything, but this is not entirely true. This is where our weekly comes in - every weekend we will tell you what happened as it did, the facts as they are. And we will also serve you a portion of the other face of Bulgaria - the one that rarely makes the news simply because good news don't sell, on the side. Giving up or moving on is up to you to decide.

We need your support so Novinite.com can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria! Thank you!
