There are 23 polling stations where Bulgarians can vote in Greece today. They are five less than their number in the previous election on June 9 this year.
"People come to vote with hope, just like last time, but I can see that this hope is starting to wane. I feel like people are already voting out of inertia. Maybe they know what the end result will be, whatever they do, so they just come to let their voices be heard. There's still a glimmer of hope that keeps people going. That's how I see things."
"The low voter turnout, in general in Greece, not only in Athens, is due to the fact that most Bulgarians are already outside Greece. They are not in the same number that we were here five years ago or ten years ago," Sevar Ognyanov tells us. The reasons, of course, are economic. The higher salaries in Western European countries, such as Germany, France and even Great Britain, made our compatriots choose them as their new home. According to Sevar, this is also the reason for the smaller number of polling stations for Bulgarian citizens in Greece today.
