Bulgaria not only lost the hosting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, but will pay for it to be held in Paris. There are hardly many world analogues of such managerial insanity. An image and economic blow to the Bulgarian state and people. We won the hosting back in July 2024. This was written by political scientist Kaloyan Metodiev on Facebook.
Bulgaria has been a member of UNESCO since 1956. The organization is part of the UN, which is responsible for relations between nations in education, science and culture. 193 member states are “knocked out“ their sites to be included in the World Heritage List, because this guarantees a boom in tourism, and from there fresh money in the economy and prestige. Our neighbors Greece and Turkey are digging the ground so that every archaeological site can be included in the list! We are being “shot” by our own government. It beats us in culture, science and economy. This is a complete international disgrace - both to be mocked and to pay for it!
The Minister of Culture from the ITN - Marian Bachev demonstrates complete managerial weakness. Information is coming out that he hid letters and did not create any preliminary organization. In the end, the forum will be held in Paris, instead of Sofia.
Can you appoint a person as minister without a gram of political and managerial experience? In the second week, you changed your chief of staff. You made us a laughing stock in front of the world. There is no money in the budget for science and culture. Half of the ministers in this government are inadequate for the positions they hold. Social payments are frozen. Business has been hit. Sanitation has stopped. Our country has lost 1 billion and 300 million under the plan to combat the Covid crisis. Blow after blow is raining down from this inadequate majority in moral, managerial and personnel aspects, created after a bunch of pre-election lies and election fraud.
The ITN are masters of the show and the overthrow of governments, heads of parliaments... It's time for a little political responsibility. Removal of the minister and payment of the expenses of Bulgarian citizens from their party subsidy.
