Politics » BULGARIA IN EU | July 22, 2008, Tuesday // 00:00

The German expert Philip von Walderdorf said Tuesday the situation in Bulgaria was like in some African country, and that it could not be tolerated.

In an interview for the Deutsche Welle, Von Walderdorf, who is a business consultant and a former officer of the German Chamber of Trade and Industry, pointed out that the Bulgarian politicians were to blame for the country's situation, and that terminating the EU funding for the country was the best way to punish them.

"As a German taxpayer, I cannot accept the fact that the money from my taxes would sink somewhere in Bulgaria, stolen by various mafia organizations, and that everything would be in vain", von Walderdorf stated.

He further expressed his indignation by saying that "these are outright African manners. All states paying this money are really angry, and don't want to pay for Bulgaria any more."

According to the German expert, the Bulgarian politicians had to be pressured from all possible directions to rectify the situation.

Von Walderdorf contrasted the terrible state of Bulgarian politics to the booming economy pointing out that similar state could be noticed in many other countries.
