Victory over nationalism

Emil Spacyski comments on the election victory of the pro-European forces: "Bulgaria is glad to see its neighbouring country turn its back on militant nationalism and look to Europe. ... With these elections the Serbs have bid a painful farewell to Kosovo. ... Stubborn nationalism did Belgrade no good. Many Serbs have always had a progressive attitude, but they never formed the majority. Now we must keep in mind the great protests against the regime and the wars of the 1990s, as well as the fact that it was not Clinton's bombs but the pressure from the people on the streets that brought about Milošević's fall."

Bulgaria doubts Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's liberalism

13 MPs belonging to the National Movement Simeon II (NMSS), which is a partner in Bulgaria's coalition government, have left their party. Their resignation came after party leader and former King Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha expelled five party members owing to disagreements over the future course of the party last week. Emil Spachiyski comments: "It's a platitude, but freedom is the fundamental principle behind liberalism, and freedom requires above all the free competition of ideas. The events of last week dispel the myth that the NMSS is a liberal party. It has become clear that only the king enjoys freedom - namely the freedom to do whatever he pleases. Simeon disguised himself as a liberal but he thinks and acts like a king. I'm glad that Bulgaria is no longer a monarchy. Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha governed for four years. Now he is history."
