Мандат за една наистина Прогресивна България 1. На 19 април 2026 г. станахме свидетели на истински исторически момент за България. Новосъздадената партия „Прогресивна България“, водена от бившия президент Румен Радев, постигна безапелационна победа в изборите, с 44.6% от вота, което ѝ гарантира нещо изключително рядко в историята на съвременната българска …

The frantic rush to the eurozone to “sit at the table of the rich” leaves a particularly bad taste in the mouth, reminiscent of the botched negotiations with allies (and later enemies) from the Balkan wars, which played a decisive role in the onset of the First National Catastrophe.

Широко разпространено клише гласи, че образованието е универсално полезно, че който се учи, той ще сполучи, а „науката е слънце“.

The dog in the title is the State Security (DS) – the secret services of Bulgaria during the communist regime (1944-1989). Their numerous functions also include monitoring various aspects of the country's economy. The preserved authentic documents with which the DS representatives informed the political leadership about the economy of Bulgaria are important and interesting. …

On October 29, 1940, from the rostrum of the XXV Ordinary National Assembly, the deputy from the government majority, Gavril Lenkov, declared: "if it is necessary to enrage the speculators in Bulgaria, we are ready to legalize this sanction."
