MY BULGARIA: Let the music play - Opinion news
- [

All the other parties formed after the changes in 1989 advertised themselves as the parties of the “new” Bulgarians who pledged themselves in the principles of market economy and western democracy and the European Union. And this is just some of the “music” that is played for the young people. And this is the other “music” that is played by the Cabinet, not the one played on Buzdloudja. Another song recorded by the Cabinet tells the story of how there has not been a single high-profile public official charged and sentenced over corruption in Bulgaria. Any unauthorised reproduction or use of it is strictly forbidden. Further more many of those people saw little of what the BSP promised in 2005 being done for them. In fact, the decision that the party supported after it took power were rather western-oriented, such as the introduction of a 10 per cent flat tax rate, something that even the US is staying away from. In this sense the open air festival was good stunt and worked very well indeed. Life, however, tends to take its toll and in today’s Bulgaria, simple arithmetics show that the number of people born in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, when communism was in its peak, is going down, hence the number of those who still see the BSP as “our good old party”.

So there is a good logic in what Stanishev is trying to do, attracting the aspirations of younger generations. Stanishev had a techno house music party organised under the name “Buzdloudja Open Air festival”. The BSP’s response to that at the time has always been the tendency to take care of the elderly people, the people who helped build Bulgaria in the second part of the 20th century. The party has always been considered as the party of the old generation that was born and raised under communism. There is however one fundamental problem for Stanishev and the BSP. This idea has a somewhat different meaning to the BSP. This other “music” includes a song that came by the EU on July 23 when the latter froze millions of euro in European Union funding to Bulgaria because the very same EC did not trust the country in its willingness to cope with corruption. This stand has worked well for the socialists in the 1990s when they had a hard core of supporters who had sweet memories of the times when Bulgaria was a people’s republic. This was a joke told on one of the three national TV channels on August 3 the day after the ruling BSP has its annual gathering at Buzdloudja peak in Stara Planina.This gathering is almost as old as the 100-year-old party, as the BSP is often referred to. This year the young BSP leader Sergei Stanishev, who happens to be the country’s Prime Minister, decided to give young socialists something new and thrilling. This year’s spring hit is about how people can be kidnapped and held for 50 days in Sofia without any consequences for the kidnappers. To his satisfaction TV cameras showed young people shouting “BSP, BSP, BSP” as if they were at an election rally not a party.The idea of getting the support of the young people is something that every party has in its election programmes.
