"Enlightenment is not only in the past – it is in everyone who builds, creates and believes that Bulgaria can do more. We live in a time of opportunities – Bulgaria is stable, part of the European cultural space and this is an environment in which knowledge, enlightenment and spirituality can once again be at the center of public relations. The awakener today does not carry a pen, but conscience and courage. And we – ordinary citizens are no exception. Our duty is to build trust, encourage reason and work with care for the future".
This is what the leader of the BSP and Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Zafirov wrote on the BSP Facebook page for the Day of the People's Awakeners.
"Today we need wakefulness – not as a memory, but as a living sense of direction and meaning. Happy holiday to all who never stop shining with their example – teachers, artists, scientists, journalists, volunteers and citizens with an active position.
Bulgaria has a future because it has awake people. Bulgaria will always be the State of the Spirit!", added Zafirov
