Bulgaria: More Trust For EU Commission Than National Government

Hristo Hristov writes about the lack of trust for Bulgarian national institutuions and the higher public trust in the EU. On the Dnevnik photogalery you can see Bulgarians demonstrating for the EU to punish their corrupt government. I think this is a widespread phenomenon in Central and Eastern Europe. Even though people are free to choose in a new democracy, it takes many rounds of tit-for-tat between the electorate and the new parties to have reliable and respectable politicians.
