The Bulgarian government's attack on the opposition party caused an uproar in the country. However, because newspapers and radio stations were strictly controlled by the government, this turmoil in the country was overwhelmingly supportive of the government.
Many newspapers have published comments criticizing the opposition party's plot to engage in armed insurrection. The ones that criticized the most fiercely have previously expressed their opposition to the merger, and it seems that their attitudes have changed quite quickly.
As for the truth, it doesn't matter because the government gets the results it wants.
As for the people's attitude towards the former opposition political parties, their attitude has changed greatly. If they still understood it before, they are now disgusted with it. Because the current economy in Bulgaria is good, everyone wants to live a stable life. No one
If they want to return to the previous state, it makes sense that the opposition party will be abandoned by it.
Unlike domestic voices, which are one-sided, foreign voices are also one-sided. But it's the other way around. Foreign media are basically critical of Bulgaria's practice of sweeping away all opposition parties.
They say this is a step back for Bulgaria's democratic politics and a reversal of history. Filakov, who led this arrest, is the executioner, and the main messenger behind it, Krstev, is a political snake who is destroying Bulgaria's political system.
political structure.
But can the voice of foreign public opinion affect Bulgaria?
Yes, but it cannot. It can be affected because there are many people who believe the truth abroad, because they think they have the truth. No, it is because these people only occupy a minority and cannot influence the situation in Bulgaria at all.
Therefore, the voices of foreign media are irrelevant to Bulgaria.
Compared with the many turmoils in Bulgaria, Romania is much better. The Romanian people are more open-minded about the merger of the two countries. For them, because Romania is strong, it is not so much a merger as an annexation.
more appropriate.
However, although the public is optimistic about the merger of the two countries, the government still dare not relax.
Prime Minister Mihalaka immediately arranged for various officials to strictly control Romanian public opinion during the meeting and guide it in a direction favorable to the merger.
The public opinion monitored by the government was also unanimous in praising the merger. Among them, Romania Daily, the largest newspaper in Romania, published a comment on the merger.
The merger of Romania and Bulgaria is beneficial to both countries. Bulgaria can obtain the dividends of Romania's development, and can use its position in the kingdom after the merger to provide centripetal force for the Bulgarians in Macedonia and Thrace, which is conducive to its influence on the greater world.
Outlook for Bulgaria.
As for Romania, it can also benefit from it. First, it can expand its strategic depth. As we all know, most of Romania's territory is plains, especially when facing the Soviet Union to the east, the terrain is mainly plains. Romania, which lacks strategic depth turnover,
There is no room for any mistakes at all, which is very detrimental to the Romanian division. Now that it has obtained the Bulgarian mountains, Romania has more room for maneuver when dealing with the Soviet threat.
In addition, Bulgaria is located at the crossroads of the Balkan Peninsula. Romania controls this crossroads and will be more able to exert influence on the Balkan Peninsula.
Moreover, after the merger of the two countries, Romania will be only one step away from the Mediterranean. In the future, we have reason to believe that Romanian warships will get their own ports in the Mediterranean. I am optimistic that Romania will extend its influence deep into the Mediterranean.
This report caused an uproar in Romania. This was not because the people were worried about the unabashed ambitions for the Mediterranean, but they were cheering that Romania finally wanted to set its sights on the Mediterranean.
As Romania's national strength gradually approaches that of France, the country has long hoped that Romania can show its strength around the world. However, due to Romania's location, they have always had high expectations for breaking out of the Black Sea.
After Eder ascended the throne of Bulgaria, many people in the country have begun to miss the Black Sea Strait. They believe that as long as the time is right, there is no problem for Bulgaria to seize Istanbul.
However, unlike popular optimism, the Romanian government has never had an accurate positioning for Istanbul.
If Romania doesn’t want this place, it’s a dream. But this position is not so easy to get. Not to mention the attitudes of Britain, France and other countries, Turkey’s strength alone makes Romania hesitate. Don’t look at Turkey’s domestic economy compared to Romania.
It is too low, but its population of more than 20 million is a big trouble. Moreover, Turkey is mostly mountainous, and fighting Turkey can easily lead to a war of attrition. It is not worth Romania's doing this for Istanbul.
This topic has gone too far. Now as the time approaches, the internal attitudes of the two countries towards the merger have become more and more clear. Public opinion has even better imagination about the future after the merger.
When the final vote came, in addition to the two governments, Eder, as the co-reign, stood up and personally called on the people to vote on the merger.
Edel's appeal also had an immediate effect. The people of both countries respected this wise monarch from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, Bulgaria was a little worse, but in Romania, Edel's words definitely worked.
So in the end, 87.4% of the people in Romania approved of the merger, and 67.9% in Bulgaria approved of the merger. After the voting results of the two countries were announced, there was even more cheers.
The merged kingdom will also be corrected to the United Kingdom of Bulgaria and Romania, referred to as the Kingdom of Paul. The governments of the two countries will also be merged into one government, in which the post of prime minister will still be held by Mihalaka, while Bulgarian Prime Minister Krstev will
He held the newly created position of deputy prime minister. Don't think that this position is a shortcoming to Kerstev. His power is not much lower than that of the prime minister.
In addition to the government, the parliament will also be merged together. In order to make the parliamentary seats equal to those of the people, Bulgaria has begun to reduce its members before. Now with the merger of the two countries, there will be 35 Bulgarian members and 158 Romanian members.
Form a new parliament.
In terms of the military, it is even simpler. The less than 30,000 troops currently owned by Bulgaria will be directly reorganized into six divisions together with the armed police. Their equipment and number will be the same as other divisions.
In addition, in order to deal with the previous reason that the Bulgarian army was too exposed to politics, the merged military reorganized it. If you want to participate in politics, you can take off your military uniform. If you don't want to take off your military uniform, you can withdraw from all political groups. At the same time, discussion in the military is strictly prohibited.
Politics. After all this, the original political attributes of the Bulgarian army were completely eliminated and the true nature of the army was restored.
The merger of Romania and Bulgaria not only affected the two kingdoms, but also affected other countries.
