Bulgarian diplomat Garkov went off about how his country got dragged into the EU without a referendum back when they joined, which he thinks makes their membership morally sketchy even if it was technically legal. The guy said Bulgaria needs to stop following orders from Brussels and start acting more like Hungary or Slovakia when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine mess, arguing they should stay neutral since Russian nukes are way closer than Washington and the country has bigger problems to fix anyway.
He trashed the idea of Bulgaria adopting the euro anytime soon after watching Slovakia get wrecked when they switched currencies while he was posted there as a diplomat. Garkov said the euro mostly benefits big exporters like Germany and France while countries that just make car parts get destroyed, pointing out that Bulgaria has fallen from being ranked second globally in education down to 78th place. The dude wants direct democracy through referendums instead of letting politicians elected by like 30 percent of voters make all the calls.
