During the past period the Bulgarian bourgeois class and its state apparatus, under the dictatorship of the international financial capital, continued to impose its anti-people, ultra-liberal political line:

• At the end of 2007 the government wanted to be allowed the privatization of the hospitals. In February 2008 the parliament took decision for changing and supplementing the Privatization law. The voted changes in this law permit the privatization of the hospitals. In fact, that means more inaccessible health care for the people and also a liquidation of a big part of the hospitals.
• The government took a decision for the privatization of two of the biggest and still profitable Bulgarian tobacco factories - in Plovdiv and in Stara Zagora, under the pressure of the West tobacco companies.
• Sofia's mayor Borisov began a campaign against Metallurgical Combine "Kremikovtzi" (with more than 6.000 workers) aiming at its liquidation. Borisov wants to grab the enormous ground on which "Kremikovtzi" is situated, under the pretext of the ecological pollution caused by the Metallurgical Combine.
• In the beginning of December 2007, after a massive police operation, the trash dump in the Sofia's area Suhodol was reopened. Aiming minimal expenses from the transporting of the Sofia's garbage (which means bigger profits for the garbage concessioners) from 4 months on the Suhodol's citizens are under police occupation and under the bad effect of the new thousands and thousands tons of Sofia's garbage.
• The devastation of the Bulgarian nature continues: the brother of the ex-financial minister from the now ruling bourgeois party NDSV (the party of the ex-monarch Simeon) had succeeded to build 14 illegal new hotels on the south Bulgarian seaside during the last few years; now he is building an illegal hotel complex at one of the most beautiful Bulgarian places - The 7th Lakes of Rila mountain.

The wave of people protests (which began from the beginning of 2007) against the anti-people political line of the Bulgarian bourgeois power continued too:

• There was a general medical workers' strike on 21st January 2008; they demanded bigger salaries and bigger state donations for the hospitals.
• There were tobacco workers' protests in Stara Zagora and Plovdiv against the privatization of the local tobacco factories.
• Between 2 and 3 thousand workers from MC "Kremikovtzi" hold series of protests in January 2008; they protested the dirty liquidation campaign against "Kremikovtzi" and also demanded the change of the owner - Pramod Mital, because of irregular salaries paying (+ irregular giving of workers' clothes and irregular paying for food).
• Milk-producers and chicken-farmers organized protests and marches demanding for bigger state donations.
• From December 2007 on the Suhodol's citizens make regular protest actions against the reopening of the trash dump in their area. A few times there were clashes with the numerous policemen and gendarmerie who occupied the area. Members from our Movement take part at the Suhodol's protests too.
• About 1500 young ecologists organized a protest against the illegal building in Rila mountain on 23rd January 2008; their basic slogans were: "We want nature, not a concrete park" and "Rila is so dear for us". In defense of the Rila's nature 145.000 signatures were collected.

After the 2nd Balkan Conference, there aren't serious developments in the Bulgarian left political spectrum. A congress of the Communist Party of Bulgaria was held in April. There are some political discussions between the leadership of the Bulgarian Workers Party (Communists) and the Party of the Bulgarian Communists, but we don't expect anything new and interesting. Otherwise some of the Bulgarian communist parties' members think that they can't and mustn't work in this way - they think that it is necessary to search and try new ways to overcome the common lethargy and passiveness that dominates within the Bulgarian communist movement today.

In connection with that, Resistance Movement "23rd September" has prepared and distributed the first three editions of its Information Bulletin. They were published as it follows: Nr 1 - in December 2007, Nr 2 - in April 2008, Nr 3 - in May 2008. The purpose of the Bulletin is to serve as connection between the public actions of our Movement (street protests, discussions etc.) where we contact new people, and our web-site where we try to expose and struggle against the bourgeois ideology and to make Marxist-Leninist analysis of the most actual questions of our social-political life. We believe that our Bulletin's publishing will help new people to be involved in the communist movement and some of them to be turned in new communist revolutionaries.
