I am confused by the negativity expressed in this comment section. This article presents a fairly positive outlook on how things are changing in Bulgaria (when you wrap your head around the idea that for a small country it is not the total number but the structure of the population that matters). The article mentions a number of serious outstanding challenges, but it also lists multiple reasons to be pleased with how things have changed.
- pgtan 6y agothis is because the Bulgarians, unlike the Germans for example, are capable of (social) self-criticism and self-irony.
- krastanov 6y agoAre you saying the negativity is ironic or sarcastic? That sounds like a cheap excuse. Self-criticism and self-irony are also extremely important, but they need to be constructive, not just self-flagellation. But your claim that Germans are not self-critical now makes me think your comment was sarcastic and I missed the sarcasm. I apologize if that is the case.
