New York Times Story on Corruption in Bulgaria

Letters to the Editor | October 17, 2008, Friday // 00:00

You should report on today's (Thursday's) front page NY Times article, which prints the same content but a more negative image of Bulgaria than the International Herald Tribune story you have linked in the Morning News.

Above the fold on page 1 was the headline "Mob Muscles its Way Into Politics in Bulgaria." Below the fold next to the article was a large color photo of a three mutri lounging inside the Sin City nightclub. Inside there are more pictures, including the Central Graveyard entrance! This is an international feature story, and it pictures BG in a bad light.

I am interested to see if it has an impact in Sofia.
