Bulgarian Govt in search of Holidays to celebrate...
Monday, 24 May 2010
Faced with the notion of nothingness, the Bulgarian Government sent its Prime Minister to the Vatican to 'celebrate' Ss Cyril's anniversary, a day which sees a Macedonian delegation visiting the Vatican to pay homage to their countryman, and meet with the Pope.
For a fifth year now, the Bulgarian Government in a rather humorous fashion sends 'delegation' to the Vatican to celebrate Ss Cyril, a noted Macedonian Apostle, celebrated in two dozen countries.
Is it so that the Bulgarians decided to become Macedonians as well? The way things are going, the Balkan Peninsula will have nothing, but Macedonians... You have the 'Greeks' claiming they are Macedonians (can't blame them), and the Bulgarians celebrating Macedonian holidays.
The Vatican seemed to have an issue accepting the Bulgarian delegation, simply because they are unsure why are they there in the first place.
Bulgaria sends its Prime Minister to have a shot meeting the Pope, otherwise they are met by lowly ranking cardinal, while Macedonia whoever it sends (this time it's the speaker of Parliament) are always met by the Pope.
The Vatican TV channel, used to covering the Macedonian delegation, during a life broadcast said "The Macedonian delegation is arriving ..." while showing a footage of the arrival of the Bulgarian PM. The Bulgarian flag was also flying upside-down, which normally happens when the host doesn't put much importance to delegations who wish to celebrate someone elses holidays.
This isn't the first time, these types of 'incidents' are recurring ... perhaps a sign to the Bulgarian government to stay in Sofia next year.
