Removing concrete barriers at the border with a forklift, creating a risk for passing cars in an unopened and compromised section, is not a civil act, but a manifestation of anarchy.
This was written on "Facebook" by the leader of "Republicans for Bulgaria" Tsvetan Tsvetanov.
Greece is our neighbor and friend. I personally knew the late Georgios Pavlidis – governor of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region. He put enormous efforts into opening the Zlatograd-Termes-Xanthi border checkpoint and was a strong advocate for the construction of the Rudozem-Xanthi road.
It is no coincidence that he was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Zlatograd – recognition of his dedication to strategic projects connecting the two peoples.
A summer is coming, in which thousands of Bulgarians will travel to Greece.
It is time for wise decisions, not for political scenes. Such actions have nothing to do with good neighborliness, tourism or the economy - they destroy, not build.
Borders are opened with diplomacy, not with a forklift.
Populism does not create bridges - only new divisions!
