Time flies by, into October. Affected by the economic crisis, the belated general election in Bulgaria is about to begin.
In fact, since entering 1892, the atmosphere of the Bulgarian general election has become hot. The political parties that have been silent for a few years have begun to grind their fists and prepare for a big fight.
Although the Bulgarian atmosphere is becoming more and more discordant with political parties, it still cannot dispel their enthusiasm for political participation.
But the sudden economic crisis interrupted all this, and everyone was overwhelmed by it. Who cares about the election! So I was embarrassed. I finally applied for the venue and set up the stage, but there was no audience!
You need to know that the Bulgarian government now supervises public opinion, but it is much stricter than before, and it is responsible for news content newspapers.
Political cash that prevails in other countries, as well as the usual propaganda of spending money, are not working in Bulgaria.
In order to curb the collusion between political parties and capitalists, Ferdinand clearly enacted a law that political cash is equivalent to taking bribes.
And the punishment is quite severe. Once discovered, all illegal gains will be confiscated, the parties will be deprived of their political rights for life, and they must be tried by the court according to the amount of money.
Now Bulgarian capitalists still have little arms and legs without the guts to challenge the government. Many people try to push Ferdinand’s vest to get ahead, and the result is a patriotic education.
The political parties in Bulgaria can all use one word to sum up "poor". They are not ordinary poor. Apart from the income from party fees, there is no other income.
So nowadays, political parties are played by rich people. Ordinary civilians can't even pay the most basic party dues. The Bulgarian party has a fault.
Newspapers are not having a good life now. Since Ferdinand came to power, the newspapers are responsible for the authenticity of news concerning the national economy and the people’s livelihood.
In this case, who would dare to participate in politics casually, once he gets involved, he has to play. Why not focus on entertainment news?
Although there are not so many entertaining stars in this year and month, but poets, writers, etc. are also emerging in an endless stream, and they can be hyped!
Except for a few newspapers compiled by the government, most of them have transformed. Some have begun serializing novels, some have begun serializing comics, and some have started magazines to promote spiritual chicken soup.
On the contrary, it has promoted the development of Bulgarian culture. For this type of media, Ferdinand's attitude is very clear, which is to support it. In addition to low taxes, the theme of the theme can also be rewarded by the Ministry of Culture and encourage them to expand overseas.
……
In order to fully respond to the economic crisis, Ferdinand decisively announced the postponement of the election. Now that the economic crisis has come to an end, the people have once again set their sights on the general election.
After all, it was a parliamentary election, and it collided with the cabinet election. It's hard to think about it! And this time, there is no restriction on participating in the election as individual, Ferdinand amended the election law.
As long as you have Bulgarian nationality and be at least 30 years old; have no criminal record and no major moral problems; have a high school degree or above, and are physically and mentally healthy; love your motherland and have made contributions to Bulgaria; and have lived in the country for two consecutive years before participating in the election It can be ten years.
Ferdinand originally planned to be 35 years old, but considering the age of the temporary cabinet members, he decisively gave in and couldn't slap himself in the face!
The requirements for voters have also changed: long-term residents with Bulgarian nationality; no criminal record and no major ethical issues; have a primary school education or above, love Bulgaria, and have made contributions to Bulgaria; I am 30~ Between the age of sixty-five years old, the spirit is normal.
Ferdinand from later generations knows that young people are the easiest to be fooled, and they also commit two from time to time. They are easily impulsive. What if they are used? We must know that the world war is not far away, or middle-aged people are more reliable and will weigh the pros and cons.
Furthermore, Ferdinand also particularly emphasized contribution, advocating equal rights and obligations, increasing patriotism, and moral requirements, all of which are restricting the growth of political parties.
Similarly, in order to show the progressive side of democracy, Ferdinand also opened up women's suffrage for the first time, even though it was difficult to have female voters in Bulgaria at the time. But in the 19th century, this was also a great feat. It was legally clear that men and women had equal political status.
After being so tossed by Ferdinand, the number of voters in Bulgaria is directly reduced by a third, and there are fewer people who meet the criteria for election.
At that time, it also caused some twists and turns, especially the issue of women's suffrage, but under the strong insistence of Ferdinand, it was passed without risk.
gave women the right to vote, which caused a sensation across Europe and the United States for a while. Bulgaria, which has always been known for its conservativeness, has become the forefront of the world in the feminist liberation movement.
Ferdinand also became a "friend of women". He was embraced by feminism at the time and gained a large number of female fans. He was also commended by the International Council of Women, although he did not accept the award.
Just after the economic crisis, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has lowered the enthusiasm for the general election a lot, but Sofia is still very lively.
After all, it is the capital, and the people's enthusiasm for politics is far greater than that of other regions. Now it is the election without leaving home.
……
Bosque is the owner of a shoe store in Sofia. He has hired two shoemakers and three apprentices, so he can barely count as a capitalist! Of course he never thinks so, because he is also a shoemaker, and his skills are very good. Whenever a distinguished guest comes to the door, he has to do it himself.
No, an old friend came over and chatted with each other a few words, and he couldn't help but get involved in a big deal.
"Laura, which party do you think will win this election?" Bosque knew that he had always cared about politics, so he asked with a smile
"Bosque, I hope neither of them can win this time!" Laura said in a low tone
"Why? Haven't you always supported the Democratic Party?" Bosque asked very surprised
"That was in the past, but the economic crisis taught me that they can't become a climate! Do you know? After the economic crisis broke out, I asked them for help. The guys who usually talk about it actually said that this is the law of the market. The government should not interfere and let the market. Free adjustment! God, those idiots, I am going bankrupt, and I have to wait for the market to adjust! In anger, I turned my face with them!" Laura said angrily
"Oh! I want to buy you a drink to celebrate your getting rid of those idiots!" Bosque said with a smile
"Yes, it should be celebrated! I should have understood it a long time ago. Apart from shouting two slogans, they are cheating and drinking everywhere under the banner of ‘freedom’!" Laura said a little depressed.
"Oh, God bless you! Get rid of a big trouble!" Bosque said with a smile
