BAY GANYO

by Aleko Konstantinov

„Bay Ganyo – this is the character whose traits, to a greater or lesser degree, every Bulgarian carries within. Each of us. And shows them to varying degrees, depending on the situation and the circumstances in which he finds himself. He is pragmatic. Thanks to this pragmatism our people have survived. He is vital. Vitality is the quality that has preserved us as a people. He is enterprising. Thanks to their enterprise, Bulgarians around the world succeed. At the same time he is also brazen, and that repels. Greedy, unscrupulous, hungry for power. It is precisely these traits of Bulgarian politicians that have kept us in the mire for so many years – from Aleko to today.“
