WELL BULGARIA has not had a government for 10 months - so that has not helped. I was waiting for vaccination, they kept changing the rules. Eventually I asked at the pharmacy AT the hospital - they didn't know, asked at reception at the hospital - the woman said I had to go to the main hospital when another woman interrupted and said "just come here between 1 and 3, so I did and got vaccinated - SO TOTAL CHAOS.

@pineapplesareyummy6352 - I KNOW - I live there... Its terrible. And the politicians argue about forming a government and cant get it together - all the while people are dying.

@pineapplesareyummy6352 - In the recent general election, the vast majority of the people who were alive under communism voted for the communist party...

@kirilmihaylov1934 - Well that is the same across the world. The Kings of old never disappeared, they just changed the name to Billionaire and they let the politicians take the blame for their terrible policies. I have lived in Bulgaria for 12 years, and as far as I can tell the great things about Bulgaria are mostly what is left from the communist times. Every morning in my city the "Baby Kitchen" delivers hot food to people with small children, at a subsidised cost. As someone who grew up in extreme poverty in the UK this is just amazing to me, making sure that children get good food - I'm a man and I'm only 173cm because I did not get enough good food in my childhood. My sister's little boy is 13, he is taller than me, THAT is how much difference it makes. I see many things like this that the people here take for granted, but to me as an immigrant I think are amazing.

@kirilmihaylov1934 - I can not accurately comment - I am English. I speak Bulgarian but not well enough to know the details of the political parties. What I do know is a lot of people I talk to want to return to communism, they are very dissatisfied with the "freedom". It turns out to be the freedom for foreign companies to buy out the BG companies and for prices to go up, is the view of a lot of people.
