Bulgaria, one of Europe's poorest
countries has had 41 days of mass protests, and yesterday, Tuesday 23
July, crowds surrounded the parliament building, trapping the members
of parliament and their staff inside. Later riot police cleared a
path to allow the MP's and staff to leave. Earlier on today the riot police cleared the mass protest from the front of the parliament
building.
What is it that is bringing the Bulgarian people onto the
streets? Surprise surprise, it's that same two faced beast we are all
facing at the moment, austerity and corruption. Wake up people of
Europe, all your parliaments are the same, forcing austerity down
your throats to save their bankster friends in the financial Mafia, and
all are oozing the stench of corruption. They all sit and legislate
to legitimise the plundering of the public purse, every piece of
legislation makes you poorer and their bankster friends richer. This
is their only function, all they have to do is try to get it done
with as little trouble from the people as possible. If that fails and
the people rise up in anger and disgust, then the heavy hand of their
state apparatus, police and riot police, will be given a free hand. Like I
keep saying, every country in Europe is getting the same treatment, some
more rapidly than others, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Ireland,
Bulgaria are well into the process, the other countries are following
the same path, the pace is different. It will not stop until they get their sweatshop
Europe, or the people put an end to this insane system of greed and
exploitation by the few, at the expense of the many. What is a country if it is not its people?
