Independence Day - Força, Bulgaria!!!


Once again, we protest...!
And, once again, 
many thanks to the ingenious use of cowbells 
from one Petar Bonev
bagpiper extraordinaire 
from Bulgaria, 
making up the musical background,
which is much of the soundtrack 
for these videos and slideshows 
(part of our *Protestite Series*)
when there are no chants of ''OSTAVKA!''
nor inspirational speeches 
from ''Ostavka-Man'' 
to be heard and enjoyed!

Merci!

Konsolidatsiya - Consolidação - Unity!

How better to solidify a nation 
than to refocus upon the common struggle that it faces? 
And how better to drive the point across 
than by underlining the bond between nations 
(Bulgaria and Portugal, in this particular case -
why? 'Cause I say so - and am it!) 
with style, substance and panache 
and doing so with sub-titles, to boot - in a third language!

For I've said it before, and I state it again, here:
Bulgaria and Portugal have a ton of things in common! 
Not only do they share virtually the same national colors 
(the only closer match would be Hungary and Bulgaria!) 
but they also share a similar long, hard-luck type of history 
that made them who they are now, 
drove them to roam and conquer the entire globe 
(in different ways, granted - as in different eras too)
and shaped their nations for things to come soon... 

Their crests are astonishingly close (as they should be)




Their flags, as we said, obvious brothers of the E.U. 



And what can we say about the uncanny similarities 
that exist between the people, too?



Two countries:  two similar struggles! 
Inept governments are a fad all across the globe, 
don't you know? 

And so, having driven all that across to you, 
it is time to present our 
FEATURE PRESENTATION:


Thus, only one thing remains to say here, indeed...

And that is  

OSTAVKA!
ÉPA...! 
JÀ!
