The generational issue in contemporary Bulgarian politics

Bulgaria was not ready for a radical change of generations in power, at least of the type that took place in our country for a few months between the autumn of 1989 and the summer of 1990. between internal communists and emigrants from the Union, these were clashes within a generation that came to power in the 1940s and 1950s and was approaching sunset in the 1980s. The physical decline of this generation was unlucky enough to coincide with the country's economic decline, which began to take on more and more real shape after the energy crisis of the early 1980s and especially during perestroika. Thus, the change of generations had to take place against the background of deepening instability of the country, of instability temporarily forgotten in these latitudes, which with the revival process and the great excursion erupted in civil unrest.
