Bulgarian fiscal policy in the stabilization program
The first changes (after the most important political change on November 10, 1989) toward a pluralistic society and market economy appeared in 1990. In that year for the first time Bulgaria began its fiscal year (which coincided with the calendar year) without a budget prepared and approved by Parliament - due to the complicated economic and political situation. In 1990 alone. Parliament voted the state budget twice (the second budget was an updated version of the earlier one and its basic indicators were even worse). The actual implementation, in turn, was a less successful version of the second budget. This tradition was followed throughout 1991 and will obviously prevail as well in 1992. more » |

The Political Change in Bulgaria. Post-Electoral Attitudes, August 17, 1990
In countries with an established parliamentary tradition, political self-determination after elections usually coincides with the actual result of the elections.

The Political Change In Bulgaria Pre-Electorial Attitudes, June 7, 1990
It would seem that today the basic problem is one of the content of the transition. This is frequently being reduced to the opposition "communist totalitarianism - Western democracy". And this is easy to explain from the point of view of psychology. But this superficially self-evident opposition must not lead us to the over-simplification of the problem of democracy. more » |
