Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 89, General Election 2

After all, smart people like Charles who can see through the essence are still in the minority. Many people still dream of being able to counterattack by means of the general election and lead Bulgaria back to the bright road of "freedom".

The Bulgarian New Liberal Party is one of the leaders. This new political party, born out of the Liberal Party, basically inherited the vast majority of the Liberal Party.

Or they were scolded so badly by the people that they were forced to change their vests. Although most Bulgarians couldn't tell the difference between the two, they still scolded them the same way.

The current leader of the party, Karsten Ivanlov, who was originally Stam Bolov's rival in the party, has been suppressed until now. It was not until after Stam's fall that he was pushed out by the Liberals who were misty in the wind and rain as a life-saving straw.

Although Castelton lost to Stam in the previous power struggle, his influence in the Liberal Party is almost the same. So after he took power, he quickly stabilized the Liberal Party, and with the exception of some of Stam's diehards who left, the rest basically stayed.

After Stam's fall, the Liberal Party, despite its infamous reputation, is still the largest party in Bulgaria compared to several other governments that have been devastated.

Castelton was very supportive of Ferdinand's collapse of the cabinet; but he was completely dissatisfied with the establishment of a temporary cabinet by himself without the Liberal Party.

However, at that time, the Liberals were already unable to protect themselves. There were major factions opposing each other and a large number of hostile political parties outside. Caston also didn't have the energy to cause trouble for Ferdinand. After he had dealt with internal conflicts, he would have to fight with other political forces. All kinds of troubles have not been settled yet.

The struggle between the Bulgarian parties exacerbated the weakening of the party's power. Originally, during the Stam period, the Liberal Party and other parties had forged a bloody feud, and there was no room for relaxation between the two parties.

Anyone with discerning eyes understands that if the major political parties continue to fight like this, everyone will be doomed sooner or later. Kashton has secretly discussed with other political party leaders on many occasions in an attempt to ease the conflict.

But the Liberals are willing to negotiate peace, but other parties are not. Even if the head of the political party can ease the relationship for the sake of the overall situation, the people below will not agree!

Especially when relatives and friends died during Stam’s period, the bloody feud cannot be resolved in a few words. Since Stam’s cabinet is now in exile, it is not wrong to put this account on the Liberal Party.

After several years of fighting with each other, everyone's vitality has been greatly damaged, and Ferdinand has introduced a series of bills restricting the development of political parties, making it even more difficult.

Now the major political parties in Bulgaria can be said to be out of ten. Even the current largest party, the Bulgarian New Liberal Party, has less than 3,000 members.

Compared with other parties, the New Liberal Party maintains a sufficient advantage both in terms of numbers and influence.

The so-called fans of the authorities, according to Bulgaria's practice, won the parliamentary election and won the largest party in the predominant seat will be appointed to form a cabinet.

However, this time is obviously an exception. The parties that have won the previous general elections have never won less than 50% of the seats in the Congress. Of course, the formation of a cabinet is a matter of course.

At the internal meeting of the New Liberal Party, Kashton is now giving a high-spirited speech: "Gentlemen, the opportunity we have been waiting for has come! We have won this election and we will return to the center of Bulgaria again!!"

...

The meeting ended with cheers from the neo-liberals, as if they had won and even the outlines of future development were ready.

Regardless of what everyone thinks, the Bulgarian parliamentary elections are still underway. For the successful completion of this election, Ferdinand invited major Bulgarian media to participate in the supervision, and set up a total of 68 electoral points in various electoral districts across the country.

The election started smoothly, this time with anonymous voting.

Eligible voters write down their candidates on a prepared slip of paper and put them in the designated box.

After the voting was completed, it was opened on the spot in front of the public, and the local seniors were invited to be responsible for the voting and registration, so as to ensure fairness and fairness as much as possible.

Is Ferdinand's integrity so high? Of course it doesn't exist, and he's not a fighter for freedom and democracy. In order to weaken the party members who may cause him trouble in the future as much as possible, the government also released the resumes of candidates before the election.

All of them are based on real evidence, and they use real conspiracy. They are all treated equally and no one can say anything. In addition to the introduction of basic personal information, it also includes the activities of social groups that have participated in, what contributions to the country, etc., it seems clear at a glance.

On the surface, it is fair and fair, but it makes people cry. They are both from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. Although they have changed their vests now, the impression of the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party is too deep. They gritted their teeth in hatred and voted for their opponents without hesitation.

Not only party members have been hit, but many democrats have also not benefited. Mainly in the column of contribution to the country, basically it is helping people canvass votes. If there is no subjective tendency, people will naturally vote for those who have contributed to society.

These are all tangible contributions that can be widely recognized by the society, like the usual comment on the world, the past and the present, these controversial and uncertain, can only be recorded in the resume, and suddenly it seems that their role in this country is discovered. Not as good as an ordinary worker.

Ferdinand's sudden attack caught many people by surprise, but it made it impossible for people to directly oppose it. It was completely open and transparent.

Caston is in a very bad mood now. In his opinion, Ferdinand is a typical example of crossing a river and demolishing a bridge, although it has happened once before.

Under the circumstances at the time, after all, Ferdinand did not kill all the people, but only expelled Stam's cabinet. He understood his position aside.

Including the previous psychiatric determination of Stam's cabinet members, Kashton fully supported it. Of course, these must be true, otherwise how could the Liberal Party retreat completely.

The election results don't need to be read. Caston knows that he is out. Is the cemetery where the 10,000 people killed outside the city of Sofia still there? No matter how hard he worked and how respected he was before, the Sofia people who had experienced the white terror could never support a core figure of the former Liberal Party.

In the 19th century, when information transmission was backward, Caston, who had failed in the struggle for power within the party early on, had no chance to enter the political arena, and few ordinary people knew about him. If it is customary, who will expose the old bottom?
