    You need to explain more about the Bulgarian – North Macedonian "friendship" agreement in witch NM hasn't done it's part. Bulgarians are discriminated and by there law ppl who identify to be Bulgarians don't have the same rights as other ppl and much more. There shouldn't be such nation disciminating it's ppl in EU. There is so much to cover and I do not appreciate the way you put it in your video. And one last thing. In North Macedonian against the Bulgarian embassy there is a sign saying: " die you ****(word that can't be translated to English) Bulgarians.

    The issue is endemic for sure. it won't be solved by removing one corrupt official, but it is a start. Slovakia was in very similar position in 1998, and removing the prime minister helped immensely.

    1:24 More than 20% of Luxembourgers are considered "at risk of poverty or social exclusion" (whatever that means), barely above the EU average, though it has either the highest GDP (PPP) per capita in the world or the second highest after Liechtenstein.

    4 months later, we are headed for a third parliamentary election in one year. It would be hilarious if it wasn't downright terrifying.
    Oh, and our position in North Macedonia has nothing to do with VMRO. It's a national position based on historical facts. And it will not change.

  11. @ivaniliev2000

    March 1, 2024 at 11:20 am

    Most of the parties don't want to work together specifically all big Parties.
    Since other than VMRO the patriots party no other Party supports GERB the old government.

    DPS is a party mostly presenting the Muslim religious people, and never have had strong desire to form a government.

    BSP, who used to be the main opposition to previous government is currently facing infighting.

    And "There is such people" a party led by a show host wanted to be the main force in the Government.

    And since then only way this parliament can form a government is a massive coalition, it was very unlikely for Bulgaria to get a Government soon.

    Currently the parties that had the most chances to form a government have given up, possible leaving Bulgaria in a constitutional crisis.

    I do hope you mill make a video on the matter when it evolves.

    Borisov is like a octopus, with tentacles everywhere .
    His party pays hundreds of levs ( Bulgarian currency ) to people to vote for him , I cannot believe he gets away with that , it’s madness . Someone said that above , it will take long time to get rid of the corruption …

    Great video, very impressive and accurate analysis, especially coming from a foreigner. Only a slight remark – there is more about VMRO (ВМРО). It is not anti-macedonian per se, on the contrary. In fact it name literally translates to "Internal Macedonian Revolunationary Organization" and it's roots are in the Bulgarian Revival period (second half of 19th century) when we struggled to overcome the Ottoman empire. Unfortunately, only two of the three medieval Bulgarian territories were liberated from the Ottomans, leaving the so called "Macedonia" (nowadays North Macedonia) out of Bulgaria. VMRO continued the fight for liberating Bulgarian Macedonia and many of the celebrated national heroes in both modern countries – Bulgaria and North Macedonia are associated with VMRO. What is sad is that on both sides of the border (btw it's sad there is a border at all…) there are political organizations branding themselves as "VMRO" which, instead of working FOR the unity and independance of both Bulgaria and North Macedonia (the original goal of VMRO) are only after political interests. Thus, Bulgarian VMRO is anti-macedonian and Macedonian VMRO is anti-bulgarian. Ridiculous.

    GERB isn’t a political party, it’s a criminal organization. The only people who vote for them are those who have been paid/threatened into it or uneducated hicks who fall for all their lies.

    I do find everything a bit difficult to understand or EU countries or allowing Brits to purchase properties or invest in businesses even though the UK is no longer in the EU but now Bulgaria is refusing to let anybody to purchase properties or invest in properties if land is attached to it there are only allowing bulgarians to invest in their own country which will not be a wise decision considering how many people are unemployed and live in poverty I find all of this very disappointing as in the UK we give opportunities to everyone to improve their life or their lifestyle and also give hope for the Futures UK has had to deal with coming out of Europe and covid-19 and lots of unemployment but we are still standing tall I'm looking at rebuilding the future for everyone to share

    the Bulgarian government are well-known for their corruption whether boys body you regarding important Matters by ignore it such as pollution corruption in the building trade and banking and now refusing to let the B come into their country I look upon UK now as a red zone but the ball goes to come to the UK without being restricted in where they go what they do and also for how long and also their holiday resort are suffering I'm lose lots of money in a sense of millions which will create unemployment are large-scale and also I'm not allowing Brits to invest money into their country considering how long we were in the EU and we did support many countries and help them through their disasters and bad management the Brits tried to welcome everybody with open arms try not to put too many restrictions on them we have always been a fair country
