People’s representative from the group “We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria” Ivaylo Mirchev once again accused the opposition party “Vazrazhdane” of spreading fake news.
This time, the reason for his statement on Facebook was the claim of Kostadin Kostadinov’s people that the poem “I am Bulgarian” will be removed from the textbooks. According to him, other political figures such as Cornelia Ninova, Ivan Geshev and Carlos Contrera also took advantage of the situation. We publish his full comment unedited:
“Vazrazhdane” has again made an open lesson in the production of fake news. Read or not so much, who announced that now the USA was going to close Bulgaria, because they wanted to remove „I am Bulgarian“ from the textbooks. And it begins – to arms, brothers!!! Vote for „Rebirth“ in the European elections to save Bulgaria from Europe and the USA!!!
Again?
Of course, after Kopeikin, the wave rides who? You guessed it – Kornelia Ninova. Degeneration, Bulgarian brothers!!! The joy does not end here and if you follow my thoughts, you will remember that we have „three for happiness“ and the floor is taken by Geshev, who, with a reader in his hand, thunders liberal propaganda.
The wave of this progressive thought continues with Carlos Contrera and other citizens. We are on the verge of embroidering Je suis Bulgarian on our profile pictures… but we open the original article and, of course, it becomes clear that I didn’t like American propaganda, I liked renaissance media illiteracy. You will say that I am naive, but this strange wave, if it is not media illiteracy, remains only frank xenophobia.
Because when someone reacts with “get out of here” to the idea that migrants can be a party in intercultural exchange, that someone has missed at least the last 100 years of the development of Europe and the world.
The facts: At no time and in any form was there any change in the study of the poem „I am Bulgarian“ by Ivan Vazov. Nor did anyone think of removing it from the curriculum.
By the way, I don’t know how big your Bulgarianness must be for it to depend on the presence or absence of a single poem in the textbooks, even if it was the most iconic for generations ago. I am Bulgarian, I have no doubts about my affiliation, and that is precisely why I do not need to crush those who have sought asylum in our country.”
