HE Bulgarian social democrats have already divested themselves of the last rag of a socialist sense of shame and have even surpassed per- sons like Noske and Horthy’s social decomcratic lackeys. The social dem- ocratic party in Bulgaria long ago entered the camp of the bourgeoisie. As early as after the split of the old social democratic party into the “nar- row-minded and the “broad-minded” socialists in 1903, the latter took their stand on the opposite side of the bar- ricade in the fight between the prole- tariat and the bourgeoisie, although they were still eagerly coqueting with socialism. In this whole time, and especially during the war, they active- ly supported the bourgéois parties in their struggle against the masses: of workers and twice participated direct- ly in bourgeois governments, In 1919, when the ‘position of the Bulgarian bourgeoisie was terribly shaken, atid “the ‘wave of revolution threatened’ to”put’ an end to its rule, the social democrats were given three places in the government, and their leader Pastuchow was even “entrust- ed” with the ministry of police, so that he could settle accounts with the rapidly increasing Communist Party, and suppress the discontent of the masses of workers and peasants which was spreading throughout the country. And the first responsible person to illtreat the workers and peasants was none other than the social democrat minister Pastuchow. yreo™ this time onwards, the Bul- garian mensheviki opealy threw in their lot with the lot of the bourge- oisie.

The so- cial democrats not only consented to this, but in the maddest way egged on the government to outalw the Com- best part of the working masses» in Bulgaria, was roused to- indignation by this paragraph in the budget strongly protested against the Zankov government which was preparing for Bulgaria to enter into diplomatic rela- tions with the “Moscow malefactors.” The social democratic parliamentary traction proposed a formal motion for the removal of the said paragraph from the budget, but this motion was rejected’ by a majority of the govern- ment itself. Dg cree the crime in, the Sofia ca- | thedral, the military budget was | discussed in parliament of April 23rd. The social democratic party was of course As usual “at its post.” In its name, the social democrat deputy Tchernookoyv, declared: “At the moment when the Bulgar- ian army is making superhuman et- | forts to maintain order (?!) within | the country, the unpleasant task has | fallen to my lot of explaining the vote | of our parliamentary fraction on the military budget...

The most provoca- tory, dastardly and fantastic insinua- tions, the mast insdlent calumnies against the Communists and against the Soviet Union were found above all in the press of the social demo- cratic party. Shortly before the explosion in the Sofia cathedral, the social demécratic parliamentary fraction organized, in connection with the discussion on the budget of the ministry for foreign af- fairs, a wild demonstration against the Soviet Union. Kalfow, the minis- ter for foreign affairs provided a cred- it for the Bulgarian mission in Mos- cow and justified it on the grounds that Bulgaria, too, might at any mo- ment be faced by the necessity of rec- ognizing the Soviet Union.

(From the central organ of the social democratic party of Bulgaria “Narod” of April 24, 1925.) At the same time the social demo- cratic leader Pastuchow wrote in the newspaper “Epocha” of April 28th: “With the cold-bloodedness of the most blood thirsty executioner, Mos- cow is using the inflammatory in Bul- garia to set the Balkans and the whole world in flames, knowing be- forehand that the first victim of this conflagration will be Bulgaria itself. Now this plan of Moscow is unmiask- ed before the whdle world and its intrigues in Bulgaria will become the subject of international policy.” HE editor of the “Epocha” on his patt, ‘hastened to’ say in the same number: “Recent events here have created in Europe great indignation against Bolshevism, amd mitigated the old feelings of hatred against Bulgaria.
