Caretaker PM Gyurov compares the April 19 elections with the April Uprising

He added that 150 years ago, the young “komiti” (revolutionaries) rose up so that all Bulgarians could have the right to choose. “Today we have it. And we exercised it,” the caretaker prime minister wrote.

According to him, freedom is not a one-time awakening. “It is the necessity to remain awake, to think, to be vigilant, and not to remain silent if it becomes necessary to defend our freedom.”

“Respect to the heroes of the April Uprising,” Gyurov wrote.
