News from Bulgaria - October 2009

This month some people in Bulgaria decided to fight the economic crisis in special way. A 15- years boy stated to produce money right in his home with his home computer and printer. A worker in the city of Varna went with a gun in the office of his ex-boss and asked for the money that the company owns him. Again he was told that there is no money and they cannot pay him so he took one computer.

Despite the so called crisis some people still do not lose their sense of humor. Someone called police and said something like that: “I am in front of the government building, I am close to the fountain, I am dressed in black and I am armed. I am waiting for the prime-minister to come out so I can kill him.” Police came quickly. There was a man dressed in black close to the fountain and they arrested him. He was very surprised and claimed he has nothing to do with the phone call. So police call back the telephone number and one mobile phone started to ring nearby. So they arrested the joker.

If you have lived for some time in Bulgaria maybe you have noticed how much fascists there are here. City of Plovdiv is one of their strongholds. But this month some news come from there. Some young people formed a group called “United Front” to fight back nazi scum. That’s good!
