Novinite: Bulgarian Socialists are in sh*t!

Novinite.com published a story today about the Buzludzha monument which is a sacred monument for the socialist party and has been badly neglected for many years. The subject of socialist architecture and monuments and what to do with them is very divisive here. Not surprising, I guess, given the history of the country, although a museum of Socialist art has just been opened in Sofia.

Anyway, today the Bulgarian cabinet transferred ownership of the the Buzludzha monument to the Bulgarian Socialist Party.  Until now the monument and surrounding land were State property. Presumably the BSP will try to restore it over time (maybe in time for fall of capitalism!).

The story was covered by Novinite this afternoon and they published an accompanying picture which, on close scrutiny (not too close) appears to place the monument above a pile of horse shit!! This was hurriedly withdrawn and replaced with a more acceptable picture later.

I guess Novinite.com are not avid supporters of the restoration of the monument! Judge for yourself....
