Caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gurov addressed the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising on Monday, stating that the concept of freedom has shifted from a question of possibility to one of conscious choice. Gurov reflected that 150 years prior, revolutionaries rose up to secure the right for all Bulgarians to choose their path—a right, he noted, that Bulgarians exercised recently. According to the minister, freedom is not a singular event but an ongoing commitment.
He emphasized the necessity of remaining vigilant, engaging in thought, and speaking out when the defense of freedom is required. In a post titled “A tribute to the heroes of the April Uprising,” the Prime Minister shared a video clip. This video featured Gurov reciting a letter originally written by the Bulgarian revolutionary and poet Hristo Botev to Ivan Grudov, Ivan Kavaldzhiev, and Georgi Stranski.
The address marked a reflection on the historical significance of the April Uprising. The statement from the minister served to commemorate the efforts of the past revolutionaries and underscored the ongoing responsibility of citizens to uphold democratic freedoms.
