The tools with which Bulgaria was made to break off the socialist block in which the country was one specific ratio piece of a large percentage of socialism and a small percentage of capitalism distributed among the ethnic minorities and some specific co-operation formations, these tools are now being put away as no longer useful.
The model of all people belonging to a politically structured society is being substituted by the model of a conglomerate of economically minding their interests societies.
Salt is cheaper in crowded places in times of peace, and if bread is unevenly rationed due to a limited money volume allowed to travel through a territory, what else can a good organization hope for but to create examples for the people to shrink away from, and to involve the population in self-paid clash shows.
Ethnic problems have always existed on the Balkans, and have always been an easy source and target of manipulation.
History remembers when it was not fair competition that created strain, but the creation of subsidiary structures that tried to drag in and conquer the structures essential to human survival, after which to digest their major specifics and pronounce the role as belonging to themselves.
In Bulgaria, the main ethnic and group specifics were assisted or instigated against or in favour of other ethnic or group specifics, and the result was a balance between the fear to be punished for breaking the law in self-defense, and the fury to break any law in desperation.
Now the new political cabinet of three incompatible interests: the world interests of the monarchs, sheiks, and chieftains, represented by the uncrowned heir to the Bulgarian throne, the world interests of the communist idea about globalization through an army model, represented by Russia and its capacity of man and deposit, and the world interests of the former Turkish empire, represented by a large population of that countrys faith and language, are about to take a political left turn, only it will be taken through the specific right-wing way of reading the world map which the slowly substituted administration staff has intrinsic in their nature.
It is like when the left-wing administration of previous governments took a right turn through a gradually shifting policy trend.
One would say that Bulgaria has been a polygon for the experimentation of two opposite models: autocontrol achieved through highly advanced satellite navigation, and a Browning movement in the knitting of webs of connections in the multiple closed compartments where lots of weavers are working individually and for different employers.
Whether this will help Russia to find a globally strong foothold in Bulgaria, and Turkey to be accepted in the European Union, I am not with any doubt as I have suffered the whole process of their integration through what Bulgaria was, is, and will be.
The world is a lovely place to try to be happy in, but people say it only because they are part of the world and the only competition they know is with other people.
If one looks at what mankind is trying to do all the time, one cannot but notice that mankind is trying to survive in all its volumes, scales, forms, and belongings, and is striving hard, paying much, and fearing a failure, in the hope that some day there will be a better place to live in, maybe on the moon from where the moon population will be looking down upon the earth, or maybe on another planet, to which there will be a race of settlers.
