Slavi Trifonov criticized two Bulgarian proverbs in a Facebook post, calling them shameful and unsuitable for the nation. The ITN leader targeted sayings about bowing heads to avoid conflict and placing bread above all else, noting they appear in current advertising campaigns. He argued that national heroes Botev and Levski would have remained obscure had they followed such wisdom, leaving Bulgaria under Ottoman rule.
Trifonov emphasized that people should maintain dignity and fight for freedom rather than submit to oppression. He pointed to Bulgarian history as evidence that pride and resistance matter more than comfort. The political figure urged citizens to reject these particular proverbs and stop using them in public messaging. He suggested Bulgarians should embrace principles that reflect their heritage of standing against adversity rather than accepting subjugation.
