"The subject must be undoubtedly literate, have a satisfactory command of beautiful handwriting, read quickly silently without staring, and most of all have a satisfactory command of simple calculations - the multiplication table and other arithmetic tricks .” This is how a Bulgarian feuilleton humorously describes how a century agо in our latitudes, they imagined the ideal candidate who, in the elected institutions, would defend the citizens' right to well-being, an ennobled environment and a dignified life.
"My expectations are zero because everyone is looking to steal money. We pay insurance, vignettes and absolutely nothing changes. Two persons blew a tire yesterday in front of me. Everything is the mayor's fault - if he doesn't do anything, there is no one else who can," says a Shumen resident.
"It is very difficult to find a job, especially for young people like me. I haven't succeeded for 4 months now, because employers require an internship, but you can't get it when you've just graduated," says a 25-year-old girl from Shumen.
Unfortunately for the citizens, a large part of the presented problems depend on the people in the authorities so they should vote sensibly in the upcoming local vote on October 29. Yordan Minchev offers his scale of assessment by which he evaluates whom to choose for the positions of power.
