Disturbances and Attitudes of the Great Powers

Ferdinand, who arrived late, was just in time to see the familiar scene. 'Whatever the enemy supports, we oppose!' A very popular phrase in the latter days. Oppose for the sake of opposing. It is clear that the people below are still doing a good job of bringing the rhythm.

It is important to know that although the Bulgarian public is not a fan of political parties, these parliamentarians are much calmer. How can they also be so negative? Of course, Ferdinand's minions are to blame. A large part of the people below is his own people. As long as someone starts to coax, others agree at once.

The other legislators were hostile to Karl. The majority of them, who Bulgarian citizens influenced, did not have a good feeling about political parties and chose to distance themselves from Karl not to be isolated.

Karl has not easily found an opening to take advantage of Ferdinand's absence to make an attack, but the result is painful. One should note that the constitutional monarchy in Bulgaria can be pretty popular, and there is no shortage of supporters among parliamentarians. It is logical to say how this proposal should come from a group of supporters!

The result is the same as during the political parties period. We oppose all the proposals of the enemy, whether they are right or not. Even if they are right, it doesn't matter. The big deal is that we will revise them later and then take them out and vote again.

Ferdinand watched the farce quietly from the sidelines, with no intention of intruding. Anyway, no one has come out to show their support up to now. They are all busy criticizing Karl with their righteous anger.

A few people who were just neutral on the sidelines are being pulled into the fray!

"Hey, my friend what do you think about this?" A asked.

"This, I'm still a little confused!" B stammered.

"What's there to be confused about! We are legislators and we have to represent public opinion! Now the Bulgarian people hate political parties, right, so of course we have to hate them too, right!" A said in a righteous voice.

B is more confused. What you say makes sense. I can not believe that I have no words to say!

In the name of representation, for the sake of justice and righteousness in the world and the future of Bulgaria, he then firmly joined the ranks of the critical pair.

Well, there was no need for a vote either. The result is already obvious. Other than Karl, who proposed it, a few people have been more or less critical of them. Some even educated them on patriotism, saying that they themselves should feel ashamed.

Karl and a few others looked at each other and then tacitly chose to be silent. They would never mention the vote, too lazy to make a fool of themselves.

It was such a small episode that it passed. Ferdinand had no intention of asking for trouble and simply let him fade away like the wind. He is not like some protagonists for the sake of pretend. Let the opponent play to his fullest, next bring to vote, and then turn around and hit the face.

Ferdinand said that he is a qualified, great patriot. His face is precious and cannot be used to compete with a few small fishes.

No one else came out to show their presence. The next meeting went very smoothly. Basically, it was a government proposal that was voted on and approved by the National Assembly and sent to Ferdinand for signature and approval. A three-day session was planned to be finished ahead of schedule on the first day with an efficient statement.

Ferdinand was open-minded enough to declare a recess. Except for one-half of the members of the National Assembly who were to be based in Sofia, the rest could go their separate ways to their homes and wait for a reshuffle or come back for the next major meeting.

Karl and a few people were frustrated and applied to leave. What a joke, in the current situation, there is no place for them in the National Assembly! If you don't "wimp out" now, do you want to stay here and be angry every day? As for partisan interests? The current situation in Bulgaria, how much worse can it be? Even if there is a proposal to ban political parties, Karl can guarantee that they will pass it with a large number of votes. The majority of the Bulgarian people will probably set off fireworks to celebrate!

The political atmosphere in Bulgaria is now very strange. The country is developing in harmony, except for a few political parties that are having a hard time. One can not help it that since the end of the election after the media have spared no effort to cover the problem, many people can not stand the strange eyes of the people around. With the new wave of withdrawal from the party, several minor parties finally could not hold on, and gloomy announced the closure.

With the formation of the new government, Bulgaria has once again resumed its usual busy schedule. The whole country is like a big construction site on which everyone is working hard to add bricks and mortar to the country.

The Austro-Hungarian diplomat in Bulgaria - Christoph Waltz - wrote in a letter to the old emperor - Franz Josef I.

"Your Imperial Majesty, your vassal Christoph Waltz greets you.

The situation in Bulgaria is very stable. Your nephew is doing a good job and has inherited your greatness and wisdom. He now dominates the country's course, the king's power is supreme, and all classes support him firmly.

Under his rule, the political parties became dogs in distress, scorned by the people. The capitalists became lions without claws and teeth, trembling on the sidelines. Even when the government introduced bills that seriously harmed their interests, the capitalists were forced to declare their support.

It may be a legacy of Stambolov's time that the emerging Bulgarian capitalists now have little guts, behave like saints, and are morally impeccable. It may be another species. They do not have a bit of the commonality of capitalists.

Probably even they themselves haven't found out yet about it. According to them, the Bulgarian capitalists have high moral integrity and are willing to contribute to the country. I wouldn't believe it anyway. I'd rather think they were scared. After all, people sent their predecessors to God!

Well, it is basically the political landscape we were looking for it! It's basically been achieved here. Although Bulgaria is only a tiny country, its growth has been stunning, leaving its neighbors far behind.

I can assert that if Bulgaria continues to develop at its current telling pace, another country that has completed its industrialization will appear in the Balkans in less than ten years.

If not for the population and resource restraints, I would even be concerned that they could threaten Austro-Hungarian interests in the Balkans in the future.

In short, the future direction of the situation in the Balkans can no longer be left without Bulgaria.

It's a pity that they are now allies of Russia. Despite working hard with us, it's a pity that the Russia-Bulgaria Alliance is still so solid.

Bulgaria needs Russian industrial raw materials, and Russia needs them as a temporary nail in the coffin of the Balkans. There is also the same traditional culture. You know Bulgaria as the birthplace of Slavic culture..."

Christoph's letter also reflects the attitude of the Great Powers towards Bulgaria at that time.
