The unification of Bulgaria is a celebration that reminds us that courage, not strength, is what drives history. This was stated on the air of “Offensive“ Prof. Nikolay Gabrovski – head of the Neurosurgery Clinic and deputy director of medical activities of the University Hospital “N.I. Pirogov“.
“Unification is one of the truest celebrations – it transformed us from an object of liberation into a subject that seeks its own path in history," emphasized Prof. Gabrovski.
In his words, the Unification is not the result of military power, but of the free will and determination of the Bulgarians to overcome fear: "It did not happen because Bulgaria was strong, but because it showed courage. People then overcame fear – and this is the greatest lesson".
Prof. Gabrovski also outlined European integration as the second great historical dream of Bulgaria after the end of communism.
„Our first dream was the communist party. Then came Europe – and this dream is yet to be fully realized, he said.
He also noted the achievements of this process: “Today we no longer even think about crossing the border – this is a huge success“.
In the context of domestic political events and the new vote of no confidence announced by the PP-DB, Prof. Gabrovski commented: “A vote of no confidence is a powerful political tool, but it should not be used constantly. However, it seems that recently it is becoming a habit“.
According to him, despite the political tension, the government currently seems stable.
