14 January 2009 - National Protest

For the past years we the students and citizens, young and old, live at the bottom, we live in a land of mafia, lawlessness and amnesia. We live in a country where the personal interests of the oligarchy political class are superior over the social interests, legality, life and people’s dignity.

But enough already!
We won’t be slaves to our statesmen, nor yet they will be our masters – they are our servants who we pay to work for us, and who’s supposed to be controlled and changed by us. We will express our right to control ON THE STREET. Due to the absence of political ethics for dignified bearing and assuming responsibility, due to the absence of govern qualities Bulgaria could not get out of the current economic, ethic and political crisis hanging over us for the past 20 years!
There is no excuse for the failure of the Bulgarian pseudo–statesmen – provided with capable people, ancient traditions, beautiful and fruitful land.

On 14.01.2009 we start series of protests because:

- We are people with ancient history and cradle of European civilization, we are not a third world country;
- We won’t undergo the lawless killing of our colleagues, friends and children, we won’t live in fear;
- We had enough of being the generation of “500 lv”; we live in the poorest and most corrupted country in Europe for years, in which even after 2 years membership in EU none of the European good practices has been acquired;
- We want to live, to educate and develop not abroad but in our own country;
- We want our children to have future in Bulgaria.
- Enough misery! Enough corruption – we want renewal, we want chance, we want a normal life!
The political system in Bulgaria is unproductive and generates corruption. We insist on changing the system not only the representing faces. We insist on transparent government and direct civil control. People must participate when the most important decisions about the country are made.
We call up for people’s alliance.
We appeal to all our colleagues, students all over the country to take part in the protests in Sofia or to organize local processions, meetings in front of the town councils and city halls so we can say together - ENOUGH!
We invite all displeased citizens of Bulgaria to unite and oppose the misery, mafia and corruption.
- Go out with us on 14.01.2009 at 10 o’clock. We traditionally gather in front of the “Hristo Botev” hall in the stolen Student’s city from us, and it ends with a meeting in front of the National Assembly where “Unity leads to power”. There we unite with all the citizens who have compassion upon our corrupted mother country.




Summary of former actions: On 12.12.2008 and 19.12.2008 we organized two national protests in which thousands of young people and citizens took part.
Pseudo – state institutions impudently refused a dialog with us and tried skillfully to escape from the fulfillment of our just demands. Moreover on 19.12.2008 the governors disgracefully ran from their people, impertinently rewarding themselves with additional 13th “Christmas” salary …!
