I am from Bulgaria.
My wife and I arrived in the USA in 1998.
We were very happy because we had not seen our son for 6 years and
we
were very curious to see the big difference between our country and
the
USA, between our culture and the American culture. We have been in
the
United States for about 9 years and definitely can say that we love
America. We love our country too, but we do like the communist
governments. The communists dictated in our country more than 50
years. Bulgaria was ruled by the Bulgarian Communist party, whose
power feel
in
1989 officially, but its dictatorship extended later, because the
communists tried to transform itself, changing its Party name into
Bulgarian Socialist Party and was continuing to rule. Before 1989
and later the communists were continuing to plunder all that they
can.
The
police and judicial system were together with them. All of them are
the
richest people in Bulgaria now. None of them have been sentenced
so far.
The corruption continues. Thanks to the democratic
forces in our country, there is noticeable progress in the economy
and decrease of
organized crime. Thanks to the democratic forces, Bulgaria became a
member of NATO in 2004 and in 2005 the Europe Union approved our
membership for 2007, subject to the implementation of reforms,
especially the cleaning up of corruption and organized crime. In 2007
Bulgaria joined the EU. Our country is an all with the USA and I am
proud of that.
