Well, it is official – we are living in a two-speed Europe. The big question for Bulgaria is which side it should be on.
Officially, Bulgaria has signed up to the "core", a 23-member new pact, which will be supposed to act as a block.
The benefits of this decision however are far from clear. If the pact means higher levels of taxation, this is suicide for Bulgaria's economy – low taxes are the only thing that keeps investors here. Besides we may end up short of breath while racing in the fast-speed lane, where new and stricter rules will certainly be imposed.

No need to pay off Greece or Italy's debts, no higher taxes, no French-like government-controlled economy.
The single currency has always been a creature of politics, not economics and finance.
The big question for Europe now is whether Cameron has made a grievous mistake with regard to Britain's long-term interests.
The big question for Bulgaria now is whether Borisov has made a grievous mistake with regard to Bulgaria's long-term interests.
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.
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
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.
You have certainly noticed how many times President Rosen Plevneliev used the phrase “a broad-minded person” referring to almost every member of his caretaker government.
