Bulgaria's politicians growl, bark and bite

The German news portal Spiegel Online has published a list of Europe's ten most dangerous politicians. The daily Trud explains why the list includes no Bulgarian names. "Our beloved leaders are not on the list because on the streets of Europe they whine and tuck their tails between their legs. To give people an idea of how dangerous they really are, Der Spiegel should put out a list just for us composed according to regional considerations. The new test for aggressive stray dogs could be of assistance with this task because it is also applicable to humans. In the test, the test subject should remain calm when exposed to loud cries and sudden threats, and neither bark, growl or bite. And it should allow itself to be stroked on the head and body. But there's the rub: our politicians are happy to let themselves be stroked any which way. But as soon as they sense danger they're the first to growl, bark and bite."
