Caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gurov addressed the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising on Monday, stating that freedom is now defined not by possibility, but by conscious choice. Gurov reflected on the historical context, noting that 150 years prior, young revolutionaries rose up to secure the right for all Bulgarians to choose, a right he observed Bulgarians exercising recently. The Prime Minister emphasized that freedom is not a singular event but an ongoing commitment.
He stated that maintaining freedom requires continuous awareness, critical thought, and vigilance, asserting that silence is unacceptable when defending such rights. In a post titled “A tribute to the heroes of the April Uprising,” Gurov reflected on the enduring significance of the historical event. To accompany his message, Gurov shared a video clip featuring the recitation of a letter from the prominent Bulgarian revolutionary and poet Hristo Botev, addressed to Ivan Grudov, Ivan Kavaldzhiev, and Georgi Stranski.
The statements from the minister underscore a commitment to the principles established during the April Uprising. Gurov’s remarks served as a call for continued civic engagement and defense of fundamental liberties within Bulgaria.
