От няколко дни наблюдаваме същинска медийна истерия около предложените промени в Закона за защита на конкуренцията. Разбира се, лобистите на бизнеса, който първо ще бъде засегнат от тези промени, имат своето право да ги оспорват икономически, но и трябва да имат почтеността да представят данни за твърденията си. Именно от …
More »Гренландия и илюзията за европейска отбрана
Между политическото желание за защита и правната възможност за такава зее пропаст – и именно в тази пропаст днес се намира Гренландия. Задължение ли са държавите членки на ЕС да изпратят войски и друга помощ, ако Гренландия бъде нападната и окупирана от САЩ, Русия или Китай? Малко известно е, че …

Какво се случва с Венецуела не е казус, който би трябвало особено да интересува Европа, но какво се случва с Гренландия със сигурност е. Намеренията на Тръмп към нея трябва да се приемат (много) сериозно и се опасявам, че към момента политическият елит в Европа не осъзнава нейната важност. С …
More »A Vibe Shift for the Euro and a Catalyst for Realignment
Four years ago, I proposed to one of the famous sociologists in our country the thesis that the euro would play a key role in the expected process of political realignment. It would become the main catalyst for establishing the new division between sovereignist and globalist forces, it would separate the new right from the new left, it would unite us...

Once upon a time, in mysterious California laboratories in the mid-20th century, microchips were born as small, fragile dreams, barely whispering promises of a future in which machines would think faster than their creators. Engineers like Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce were the alchemists of this new world, turning sand into sheets of silicon, …
More »The Possible European Union
Populism, nationalism or anti-globalism – names of the new political movement emerging in a majority of European countries. Part of Steve Davis’s great realignment[1], which cyclically changes the main dividing line in Western democratic societies. New left and right, changed content of the political center, debate shifted along a different axis from the previous one. The views …

More »Why is the EU ignoring corruption in Bulgaria?
The short answer is because, despite all the banditry that is spreading throughout the country, for the past 12 years the government has been unwaveringly implementing the agenda of the Berlin-Brussels-Paris axis. This so-called agenda generally consists of centralization and transfer of sovereignty (so-called European integration), granting artificial competitive advantages to industries/countries with strong lobbies in Brussels …

The German Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe has created one of the most serious problems for both the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank in their entire history. This happened with a decision examining the legality of the ECB’s main asset purchase program, or so-called quantitative easing, called the Public Sector Purchase Programme …
More »Is Borisov lying about ERM-II or does he simply not know what he is talking about?
In the last few weeks, the positions of the government, especially in the quasi-single-man rule of Prime Minister Borisov, have been more volatile than the weather. After in February he wisely abandoned the rush to join the so-called "waiting room" of the eurozone - the ERM-II exchange rate mechanism - Borisov turned 180 degrees and a few days ago ...
