Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov will be more than pleased to accept the country's Footballer of the Year Award if the fans believe he deserves it, he declared on Monday.
In an interview for a private TV channel early on Monday, Borisov pointed out that he has generously rejected offers to become Doctor Honoris Causa of numerous universities and a member of the Bulgarian Painters Union, since he is neither an academic man nor much of a painter.
But football is a different story, Borisov believes. He does enjoy it and is actually a quite prolific goalscorer for his amateur team.
You see, the Prime Minister is a fair man and does not won to win titles he does not fully deserve. If it takes profusely sweating on a mini football field together with some other older guys, he will do it.
Unlike his close friend, former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov, Borisov is aware that it is totally pathetic to accept an honorable academic title when you cannot even read.
However, it remains unclear whether the Prime Minister is able to understand sarcasm. Does he already know he is the laughing stock of most of his country or does he sincerely believe that people are amazed by his football skills?
The latter would be quite frightening.

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.

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.
