While Lorkov and others were cursing the Bulgarian government, there were also a group of people cursing the government in Pleven. However, unlike the peasant status of Lorkov and others, they are members of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party.

"What the hell is the government doing now, to allow the economy to collapse. Andrei Lepchev does nothing about whether he wants to remain prime minister or not."

The speaker was Rilchev, the propaganda minister of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party, who was so dissatisfied with what the current Bulgarian government was doing that he cursed the government loudly in the party gathering.

"Keep an eye on it, Rilchev. If you think about it the other way around, this will at least make our party more useful to voters. It's not just our party, but other parties are dissatisfied with the ruling Democratic Alliance."

It was party chairman Kirstv who was speaking. He saw that Rilchev's scolding had gone too far, and he opened his mouth to dissuade him.

The members of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party are a new political party. The party was established in 1922 and was first active in the northeastern region of Bulgaria, and only recently promoted their ideas throughout the country. . Their slogan is to make bread and milk available to every family is not very familiar, someone copied it.

And this slogan has allowed the party to expand rapidly in the past two years, and the votes in the parliamentary elections have increased from 150,000 votes two years ago to the current 600,000 votes21. The party's political proposition relies on the economic development of neighboring Romania to escort Bulgaria. Let post-reform the current chaotic economic situation in Bulgaria.

And the party is hostile to Greece, which currently has a conflict of interest with Bulgaria. Because of the party's slogan, Bulgaria cannot stand the loss of access to the Mediterranean and Bulgaria needs to restore sovereignty over Thessaloniki.

Simply put, the party's proposition is to take refuge in Romania and oppose Greece. The fact that such a party that looks a bit like a Romanian lackey still attracts so many votes has a lot to do with Bulgaria's external environment. Opening the region, Bulgaria has four neighboring countries, but unfortunately all five neighboring countries have had wars with Bulgaria before. And since Russia changed its color, Bulgaria has been lacking foreign aid or a big brother.

And which of the four neighboring countries can serve as foreign aid for Bulgaria? First of all, Turkey needs to be excluded, mainly because of its historical and religious reasons, so that Bulgaria cannot cooperate with Turkey, even if the two countries have a common enemy, Greece.

Then, Greece was the enemy and it was ruled out, because Greece took all the Mediterranean coast of Bulgaria after World War I, making Bulgaria a Black Sea country. There was also a conflict with Bulgaria in 1926.

As far as this conflict is concerned, Greece claims that one of their dogs ran into Bulgaria,

Soldiers were asked to enter the security territory to search. Faced with this unreasonable request from Greece, Bulgaria of course refused. So Greece issued an ultimatum, asking Bulgaria to agree to its request.

And the next operation of the Bulgarian government is confusing, first rejecting the ultimatum. But I also feel that fighting for a dog and then detonating the Balkan conflict is a bit of a loss. So Prime Minister Alexander Zhankov ordered the Bulgarian army to carry out only symbolic resistance, and everything, such as the League of Nations ruling, was also known as a dog's war.

This kind of state of no war and no talk naturally attracted the attack of the Greek army. Greece has been attacking the outskirts of the border city of Petritsch, only to stop at the order of the League of Nations. In the end, Bulgaria paid $450,000 in compensation for the lost dog. The money was not much, but the humiliation was unacceptable to the Bulgarians. So in 1927, Prime Minister Alexander Zhankov was ousted and replaced by Andrei Lepchev.

As for Yugoslavia, although they are all Slavs, Bulgaria's relationship with them is not harmonious, and the country is all focused on France, and there is no friendly action towards Bulgaria.

So currently the only contact Bulgaria can contact is Romania.

Moreover, the economic ties between Bulgaria and Romania are also very close, and the food that Bulgaria needs to import basically comes from Romania. Moreover, it has become a trend for Bulgarians to work in Romania, and many people have the most intuitive feeling about the power of Romania. Therefore, it also made him full of praise for Romania's development after returning home, and the spontaneous propaganda of these people also made local Bulgarians feel good about Romania. After all, the gap between the two is too large to compete with each other.

Folk opinions make Bulgarian middle and upper classes, and they cannot turn a blind eye to this. And they, who are more knowledgeable, have a sharp contrast to the previous development of the two countries.

After all, at the end of the nineteenth century, the gap between the two countries was not obvious. By the time of the First World War, Romania's rapid development had left Bulgaria behind. The two Balkan wars greatly damaged Bulgaria's vitality and completely opened the gap between the two countries. The Bulgarians who were on the wrong team in World War I could only watch their neighbors devour the enviable spoils, while they needed to cut their losses.

So at that time, many people were reflecting on the importance of a wise monarch to the country. They regretted it too, regretted not inviting Carol I to be king of Bulgaria.

However, this emotion is gradually fading with the passage of time. After all, everyone has to look forward and regret that there is no medicine in the world. It's just that the outbreak of the economic crisis has made this kind of voice come out again. But this time, it's not that I regret not being able to invite Carol I, but why I can't choose another monarch.

The appearance of this kind of voice represents the public's dissatisfaction with the current Bulgarian royal family and government. They are afraid of comparison in everything. Look at how wise the monarchs of neighboring countries are, and then look at the performance of their own monarchs. No wonder there are such voices.

Who made Bulgaria's current king, Boris III, distracted from politics. Instead, the greatest joy in life is to drive a train, followed by the study of the mechanical structure of clocks. So much so that the drivers of the "Orient Express" crossing the European continent were warned by the railway company not to allow the king to approach the cab when the train was traveling in Bulgaria.

Although this apolitical attitude helps it escape political disputes, it has disappointed many people. Still the same sentence, everything is afraid of comparison.

The growth of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party is a reflection of this voice, and of course a little funding can also help to grow and develop.
