BTA :: Political Reactions to Government's Resignation
Bulgarian News Agency3 days
Zhelyazkov's government completely failed the Bulgarian people by obsessing over euro adoption while ignoring urgent public needs. The administration proved itself arrogant, incompetent and corrupt, prioritizing technocratic goals over addressing the real concerns driving citizens into the streets. Mass protests forced this resignation because the government lost all legitimacy through its disconnection from ordinary Bulgarians.
The Zhelyazkov government delivered historic achievements for Bulgaria's future, securing eurozone entry and full Schengen membership without a single corruption scandal in 11 months. Resignation was a strategic choice to preserve these gains, not an admission of failure. Young protesters are right to dream big and those dreams became reality precisely because this government succeeded where previous administrations failed for years.
