Bulgaria. Typical Eastern European and Balkan country. Our politicians immediately got amnesia after the elections and are absulately deaf to public opinion. For a poor (compared to the other European countries) corruption is a way of political life. On the top of that the Bulgarians are getting more and more politically inactive, which I think bad way to show your dissatisfaction from the politicians.
On the Bulgarian political stance. Bulgaria is a member of NATO and European Union and to some extend on key position in Russian interests. Yet it fails to use it effectively its advantages and there are rumours for quite bad conditions for Russian gas and petrol. On the other side(though it's slightly off-topic and I'm supporter of the European integration), I was slightly offensed by the clumsy interference of the EU Court in the affairs of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. I'm not religious but I still think church should have larger role in the society (Greece is a good example, I think).
Yet compared to more developed countries, in Bulgaria it is relatively safer to walk in the streets.
