L'Europeo No.72 | The Bulgarian Prime Ministers | April/May 2021
L’Europeo Magazine No. 72: The Prime Ministers of Bulgaria
The heaviest issue of L’Europeo yet—both literally and metaphorically—is now here.
From the Liberation of Bulgaria to the present day, they have been called upon to lead the humiliated and the wronged toward a better future.
At the beginning of their mission, they are usually loved with passion—sometimes even worshipped.
By the end of it, they are just as often deeply despised—at times even demonized.
Within these pages await stories of extraordinary personal and national tragedies. Of obstacles overcome and opportunities forever lost. Of intrigue, coups d'état, and death. Indeed, a great deal of death—for serving the Bulgarian people and the Bulgarian state has, with shocking frequency, ended in brutal slaughter, assassination, or execution.
L’Europeo 72 portrays Bulgaria's democratically elected leaders (in most cases) as Shakespearean protagonists—not merely because they truly resemble them, but because only through such a lens can we fully read our own history: a history that belongs unmistakably to the tradition of classical tragedy.
