Chapter 541： Bulgarian Social Democratic Party

When Lorkov and others were cursing the Bulgarian government, there was also a group of people cursing the government in Pleven. But unlike Lorkov and others who are farmers, they are members of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party.

"What the government is doing now is to allow the economy to collapse. Andrei Lipchev still wants to continue to be Prime Minister in the local area, but he hasn't done anything about it."

The speaker was Rilchev, Minister of Propaganda of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party. He was extremely dissatisfied with what the current Bulgarian government was doing, so he cursed the government loudly in party gatherings.

"Look a little more, Rilchev. You think about it the other way around, so that at least our party can play a more role when facing the voters. In fact, not only our party, but other parties are dissatisfied with the ruling Democratic Alliance."

It was the party chairman Kelstef who was speaking, and he saw that Rilchev was a bit too aggressive, and he began to dissuade him.

The members of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party are a newly emerged party. The party was founded in 1922 and was first active in the northeastern part of Bulgaria. It has only recently propagated their views nationwide. . Their slogan is to make bread and milk available to every family. Is it familiar? Someone copied it.

This slogan has allowed the party to expand rapidly in the past two years. The number of votes in the parliamentary election has increased from 155,000 votes two years ago to 600,000 votes. The party’s political proposition relies on the economic development of neighboring Romania to **** Bulgaria. After reforming the current chaotic economic situation in Bulgaria.

Moreover, the party has adopted a hostile attitude towards Greece, which currently has a conflict of interest with Bulgaria. Because the party’s slogan is that Bulgaria cannot tolerate the loss of the Mediterranean Sea, Bulgaria needs to restore its sovereignty over Thessaloniki.

Simply put, the party's proposal is to seek refuge in Romania and Greece. And such a political party that looks a bit like a Romanian running dog still attracts so many votes, which has a lot to do with the external environment of Bulgaria. Looking at the region, Bulgaria has four neighboring countries, but it is a pity that all five neighboring countries have had wars with Bulgaria before. Since the discoloration of Russia, Bulgaria has been short of foreign aid or the big brother.

And which of the four neighboring countries can serve as Bulgaria's foreign aid? First of all, Turkey needs to be eliminated, mainly because of its historical and religious reasons, which prevents Bulgaria from cooperating with Turkey, even if the two countries have a common enemy, Greece.

Then Greece was the enemy and was ruled out, because Greece took away all of Bulgaria's Mediterranean coast after World War I, turning Bulgaria into a Black Sea country. In addition, there were conflicts with Bulgaria in 1926.

As for this conflict, it was funny. Greece claimed that one of their dogs ran into Bulgaria and asked soldiers to enter the border and search. Faced with this unreasonable request from Greece, Bulgaria certainly refused. So Greece issued an ultimatum, asking Bulgaria to agree to its request.

And then the operation of the Bulgarian government was confusing, first it rejected the ultimatum. But I felt that fighting for a dog, and then detonating the Balkan conflict, was not worth the gain. So Prime Minister Alexander Zhankov ordered the Bulgarian army to carry out only symbolic resistance, and everything such as the ruling of the League of Nations was also called a war of a dog.

Such a state of war without war and talk without talking naturally drew the Greek army's offensive. Greece went all the way to the outskirts of the border city of Petrich, and stopped at the order of the League of Nations. In the end, Bulgaria paid $450,000 for the lost dog. The money is not much, but this humiliation is unacceptable to the Bulgarians. So in 1927, the Prime Minister Alexander Jankov was ousted from power, and it was the Andrei Lepchev who succeeded him.

As for Yugoslavia, although they are all Slavs, Bulgaria's relationship with them is not very harmonious, and the country is fully focused on France and has no friendly actions towards Bulgaria.

So at present, the only contact with Bulgaria is Romania.

In addition, Bulgaria and Romania have very close economic ties, and the food that needs to be imported is basically from Romania. In addition, Bulgarian working in Romania has become a trend, and many people have the most intuitive feeling about the strength of Romania. Therefore, after returning home, he was full of praise for the development of Romania, and the spontaneous propaganda of these people also made the local Bulgarians feel good about Romania. After all, the gap between the two is too big to be competitive.

The opinion of the people makes Bulgarian middle and upper class people also cannot ignore it. Moreover, they are more knowledgeable, and there is a sharp contrast between the development of the previous two countries.

After all, at the end of the nineteenth century, the gap between the two countries was not obvious. By the time before World War I, Romania's rapid development left Bulgaria behind. The two Balkan wars hurt Bulgaria's vitality and completely widened the gap between the two countries. The Bulgarians who stood on the wrong team in World War I could only watch the neighbouring countries devour the enviable loot, and they needed to cut their flesh to stop their losses.

Therefore, many people were reflecting on the importance of a wise monarch to the country They were also regretting, regretting not being able to invite Carol I to serve as the King of Bulgaria.

However, this kind of emotion has gradually faded with the passage of time. After all, everyone has to look forward and regret that there is no medicine in the world. It's just that the outbreak of the economic crisis made this voice spread out again. But this time it’s not that I regret not being able to invite Carol I, but why can’t I choose another monarch?

The appearance of this kind of voice represents the dissatisfaction of the people with the current Bulgarian royal family and the government. They are afraid of comparison in everything. Look at how wise the monarchs of neighboring countries are, and then look at the performance of their own monarchs. No wonder there is such a voice.

Who made Bulgaria’s current King Boris III absent from politics? Instead, the greatest joy in life is to drive a train, followed by studying the mechanical structure of clocks and watches. As a result, the drivers of the "Orient Express" traveling across the European continent were warned by the railway company that the king was not allowed to approach the cab when the train was running in Bulgaria.

Although this attitude of not caring about politics helped them get rid of political disputes, it disappointed many people. Again, I am afraid of comparison in everything.

The growth of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party is a manifestation of this voice. Of course, a small amount of funding can also help to grow and develop.
