“There are many reasons for not feeling the Independence with our heart, soul and skin. The post-1944 education in this country taught that the 22 September 1908 act was an action of one part of the political elite. Even in previous times historians used to claim that on this date the Bulgarian bourgeoisie began a series of chauvinistic wars. This is quite radical, but this thought has been on the mind of generations of Bulgarians who never deepened their knowledge of history. In fact it was an important action, the final of a series of actions, related to the Bulgarian Renaissance, Liberation and the 1885 Unification. The Bulgarians used to have institutions long before they had their state – the 1870 Exarchate, the 1869 Bulgarian Literature Society – the initial version of today’s Bulgarian Academy of Sciences… To say nothing of the numerous schools, unveiled at many spots. That was all an expression of the pursuit for freedom and the spirituality of the people. The Independence Day was the culmination of this entire process of ideas.”
“I depend on the rules of this state and the university in terms of finances. It means that we comply with the decisions of those in charge above us. Despite our efforts we don’t have a lot of rights and opportunities to change anything. We depend on the lack of punishment for many irregularities that we have to comply with. The system of justice doesn’t work well and a person depends on someone’s subjective interests and decisions.”
“This means more faith in your own capabilities, also to know your rights and defend them. The state has to provide more opportunities to young students to work, in order for the latter to be able to take care of themselves and to feel more free.”
