Howl at the Moon: Who benefits from protests in anarchy  - 1
FAKTI.BG publishes opinions with a wide range of perspectives to encourage constructive debates.

I have always been puzzled by protests during a caretaker government, and there are more of them in our country - both protests and cabinets. Let's show understanding, without being ironic - people have their reasons, they have had enough and want to say out loud what is bothering them.

Every normal person wants a higher quality of life and working conditions, everyone feels anger and despair that they need to demonstrate. The question is whether there is anyone to hear it in the protracted real anarchy in our country.

The feeling that we are left to fend for ourselves is not from yesterday, but it has dragged on for too long and it is becoming more and more pitiful and hopeless that the entire idea of statehood has been replaced by the instinct for self-preservation and survival. Everyone is their own authority and state.

The protests, which are turning into official offices, are the howling of wolves against the Moon. The only difference is that we do not know what the wolves want from our planet's natural satellite, but in both cases there is no one to hear them. The simple inclusions of Glavchev, who is completing his quite decent biography, observing the principle of least resistance, only further unnerve the discontented who feel unfairly harmed.

So what? Nothing. Well, not quite. The more cunning and resourceful native politicians are gaining points from the protests in the murky waters of powerlessness. The hyperactive Delyan Peevski, the "bad boy" of Bulgarian business and politics, did not hesitate to support the discontent where the more timid political buffoons are worried that they will be accused of "bridling" protests. And this while it is widely claimed that the caretaker cabinet is being kept on a short leash by Borisov and Peevski.

It is nothing new to protest against yourself, but the naughty boy, with whom no one in the sandbox wants to play and who is being cordoned off, can always say that he has not been in power for a second.

And all the more eminent sociologists indicate that the modernists will further increase their results in the upcoming early elections after the failure of the negotiations between GERB and DB for a cabinet.

In fact, no one remembers why they are early anymore. It seems that some assembly had come apart some time ago, very "unexpectedly".

Still.

Now we will enjoy the budget delights - we have little imagination what virtual rivers of honey and butter will flow as promises in the upcoming final debates on the state's money. Which conveniently coincide with another vote that will not change anything substantial.
