« Good evening, dear viewers, are you sleeping? », Slavi Trifonov sang in 2013.12 years later he sleeps in the arms of those he sang then. And you – are you sleeping? writes Alexander Destov in Comment on « Deutsche Welle »which « diary » publishes.
« Good evening, dear viewers, are you sleeping? » The year is 2013, a question asked him not another but Slavi TrifonovS In his song « There is no such country » Trifonov, who was then known only as a presenter and showman, resents the apathy against the backdrop of the widespread political corruption and value degradation.
Just a month after the song was released – on June 14 – there is no longer a change from the apathy in question. Delyan Peevski’s election as chairman of SANS explodes society, and the question #who sounds from the mouths of Hundreds of thousands of protestersfrom the pages of international media and even the scene of Roger Waters.

These were not another protest.
Did you get excited about this memory? Yes. The protests in 2013 were inspiring, especially for people like us who were just graduating from high school. « Two or three students are tired of protesting, they have no chance here for them, best to emigrate, » Slavi sang a month earlier. But in the coming months, on the streets and squares of Sofia and the big cities in the country, we saw that we were far from two or three. And maybe we don’t have to emigrate?

The protest, of course, is also against Peevski, who 12 years after #DANSWITHME continues to be the antipode of everything. The participants are several hundred, a large part of them have known each other since 2013.

« Two or three, best yes, » as Slavi sang. The next day, Peevski fulfilled the statement and with the votes of his party the government remains in power.
And when we said Slavi – what do you think he does? He resents that the same ones who sing in 2013 continue to pull the threads? Ha, you didn’t know!
