"Found this article on an EU observer site... ~~ The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, has said that Bulgaria is a "success story," which can inspire others. He has also generously offered his support for Bulgaria's membership in the Schengen Area and the Eurozone. The leaders of the centre-right EPP party in the European Parliament have joined the cheering chorus. The EPP party head, Joseph Daul, called Bulgaria's prime minister Boyko Borissov "the best chef d'etat in Europe". EPP political group leader Manfred Weber also said Bulgaria fulfilled the criteria for Schengen membership "better" than some other EU members. When Juncker referred to Bulgaria's "success" he was particularly impressed with its low unemployment rate and economic growth. The main reason for the low unemployment rate? It is mass emigration. Statistics show there are more Bulgarians working abroad than in Bulgaria: to be exact, 2.5m work abroad, while 2.2m work at home. Bulgarians leave their country because it has little to offer them. A staggering 22 percent of Bulgarians live below the poverty line. According to Transparency International, a leading European NGO, Bulgaria is the most corrupt EU member state. Under the nose of EU institutions, Bulgaria's democracy has been transformed into an autocracy in which public resources and institutions are used to serve the private interests of those in power. Critics are abused daily and businesses which refuse to succumb to corruption are threatened by the tax authorities. Those who speak up are prosecuted on fake grounds and usually based on uncorroborated witness statements. Bulgaria's prosecutor's office, which has not been reformed since communist times, is used as a hammer against inconvenient opponents. It has an entirely vertical structure where all decisions depend on one person - the general prosecutor. Whoever controls him, controls the entire justice system. Judges who refuse to collaborate to please the prosecutor's office are abused or prosecuted, too. There is nobody to report the abuse in an objective light either. Bulgaria is 111th based on press freedom in the world according to the authoritative index by French NGO Reporters Without Borders. Many journalists have been prosecuted in order to silence them. Social media like Facebook are censored. Critics have their accounts blocked and content discrediting the government mysteriously disappears. Sadly, none of this is addressed in the reports under the EU's Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) to which Bulgaria is subjected. ~~ Corruption, intimidation and emigration - 3 critical ingredients to be labelled a success in the EU! " Frankly laughable that Juncker holds this up as a bastion of success for Europe. | |||

This kind of talk from the EU leadership is oh so predictable. | |||
