The Bulgarian people

Nonetheless, love of the Fatherland is typical of each folks. What’s distinctive of the Bulgarian folks is the way in which it combines patriotism with internationalism.

There are not any good peoples as distinct from dangerous peoples. There are dangerous – each international and home-grown – oppressors. Or, as Georgi Dimitrov stated on the Reichstag Fireplace Trial in Leipzig, ’… in what nation are the fascists not savages and barbarians?’

In preventing in opposition to the Ottoman oppressors, our haidouts and insurgents weren’t preventing the Turkish folks. A whole bunch of bulgaria’s sons fought bravely for the liberty and independence of neighbouring peoples in the identical means as they fought for the liberty and independence of their very own folks.

Our complete international coverage throughout the 37 socialist years has been a relentless drive to beat the hazard of warfare, to consolidate peace. Not solely right here, within the Balkans, the place we’ve vested pursuits, however all over the place, in any respect conferences and talks with representatives of states from even essentially the most distant areas.

Preserve good relations and hunt down frequent

Indicative of our love of peace is our want to take care of good relations and hunt down frequent pursuits not solely with the socialist nations, but additionally with the growing and the capitalist nations; to work in live performance for the consolidation of peace, not solely with the communist and employees’ events, however with all different democratic events and actions, with all these genuinely involved about mankind’s future; to advertise cooperation within the economic system, tradition and sport on a broad scale.
