Epäuskoisten maa

Bulgariassa alle 23 prosenttia täysi-ikäisistä on ottanut koronarokotteen. Ihmiset uskovat mieluummin netin disinformaatiota kuin asiantuntijoita. Äitinsä koronavirukselle menettänyttä naista surettaa, ettei hän saa tyttäriään ottamaan rokotuksia.

In 2020 the country was rocked by sometimes violent anti-government demonstrations that have been given insufficient international media attention, with the world focused on the drama playing out in Alexander Lukashenko’s fiefdom of Belarus to the north.

Australia's Most Wanted Fugitive Busted in Bulgaria

A one-year investigation tracked down Australian tycoon Clive Palmer's fugitive nephew Clive Mensink, wanted for questioning over the $300 million collapse of Queensland Nickel. The worldwide hunt for the fugitive Australian company boss came to an end in Bulgaria. Clive Mensink was found in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia in February 2018, nearly two years after leaving Australia. Australia's Federal Court issued two warrants in 2017 after Mr Mensink failed to turn up and answer liquidators' questions about the collapse of his uncle's Queensland Nickel business.

The investigation won News Corp Australia’s “Scoop of the Year” News Award for 2018.

Das klingt nach Medienvielfalt, aber das Gegenteil ist der Fall.  Allerdings waren erst im März Wahlen, wo die Konservativen zwar gewonnen haben, die neue Regierung aber noch nicht im Amt ist.SRF-Osteuropa-Korrespondent war damals in der Hauptstadt Sofia. Er sagt, das postfaktische Zeitalter mit Fake News habe in Bulgarien schon geherrscht, bevor wir den Begriff bei uns überhaupt gekannt haben.
