“Europe has, in many ways, become a victim of its ambition to act as a moral leader in a world without clear rules. What Europe needs now is critical thinking, pragmatic action, and tangible results — to restore its industrial strength and competitiveness. Bulgaria will continue on its European path. A strong Bulgaria in a strong Europe requires critical thinking and pragmatism.
