Ambassadors Open European Gays, Lesbians Forum in Sofia

Bulgaria in EU | October 24, 2006, Tuesday

Foreign ambassadors in Bulgaria will inaugurate the 28th Annual Conference of International Association of Gays and Lesbians for Europe, which will be held from 26 to 29 October 2006 in Sofia, organizers announced.

This year's conference will welcome about 300 delegates from all over Europe, including representatives of leading human rights organizations, OSCE, the European Council, MPs from European Parliament, the Council of Europe.

The delegates will debate topics under the motto "We are Family - Our families in Europe and the European family".

Sofia mayor Boyko Borrissov, who has turned into the epitome of manliness in Bulgaria's political life, has also been invited to the forum, but appears unwilling to face the challenge.

"The mayor is yet to make up his mind whether to attend the congress," the press attachГ© said.

ILGA Europe is a non-governmental organization with more than 200 advocacy gay organizations from Europe. Bulgarian Gay Organization Gemini has been member of ILGA since its establishment in 1992. Other Bulgarian organizations that are members of ILGA Europe are Queer Bulgaria Foundation and Bilitis Resources Centre for Lesbians.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
