 We will witness a great clash - mainly on the internet.

 It is very possible that the head of BNT, Koshlukov, who knows all the tricks in politics, played Radev by offering him luxurious treatment: an interview lasting almost 50 minutes.

 By the way, lately it has become more and more evident that the time of people like Poptodorova or Pasi, who are known for their folkloric performances, is over. Our new rulers need people with real power.

 Perhaps the battle will be won by whoever has a more skilled "Capo di claque" - a person who is popular in the world of opera and who sells the applause, ecstatic cheers, and sometimes even the hisses of their claqueurs. This has even happened at La Scala in Milan.

 It is time to acknowledge the role of the paid supporters, who have recently invaded social media. They seem very suitable for our political scene - at first, their heroes are not shy to applaud themselves, but they have no problem having well-motivated paid supporters. That's why they diligently ensure their presence and then leave them to rage uncontrollably. And, of course, as expected, their applause is barely heard by the opponents who tirelessly produce insults.

 President Radev has recently spoken about some kind of "wave", born from the energy of the protests, which, according to him, has caused his long-awaited entry into "direct" politics. However, he has not mentioned another wave - the one created by paid supporters. At the moment, it appears that she is being directed more by Radev's headquarters - and because of this, she is completely uncritical towards him and harsh towards her competitors or critics, as expected.

 It's certainly true that we have not yet witnessed such a large-scale interference of clans in politics. These are thousands of people, a significant portion of whom cannot reliably be identified and who have no scruples when it comes to embarrassing or outright destroying the adversaries of their chosen Capo. They are merciless when it comes to smearing someone - these are the new barbarians who don't even care what they leave behind.

 "I continue to believe that Radev played his resignation from the presidential post so convincingly and beneficially for himself, as if he had been advised by Marshal Zhukov's staff - let's just scratch his ego a little, which he didn't even show at first - and let's give him the chance to test his sense of humor.

  Let's remember the circumstances in which this resignation happened. The charlatans, probably unexpectedly even for themselves, had already taken over the protests, but it wouldn't last long and they knew it. At any moment, the anger would be replaced with disbelief - this had already happened just five years ago, and then no one would be spared, including Radev. The crowd, with or without reason, would have singled him out."

  However, Bulgarian anger is usually accompanied by disbelief, it is its honored guard. There are also cases when it is addressed completely illogically. With his resignation, Radev managed to avoid the possible clash with the protesters, and then he theatrically staged the separation with Yotova and others.

 And after all this, he realized that he had trapped himself. He appeared on "Panorama" - and on special conditions. I am not entirely sure, but it is very possible that the head of BNT Koshlukov, who knows all the tricks in politics, may have been played by Radev, offering him luxurious treatment: an interview lasting almost 50 minutes, which will inevitably tire the viewers at some point, on top of everything without any of his political competitors even annoying him with their silent presence - only these extras have definitely caused some of the audience's dislike towards Radev.

  However, there is one benefit from this ostentatious "privilege": if it was an idea of Radev's team, he will at least understand that he needs to find new people to take care of him more carefully.

  Overall, in his communication with the public, Radev's "team" is not convincing enough. The people who are involved in this task seem unsure about what they want from Radev, how to use him in different situations and phases of the campaign, and how to manipulate him for one purpose or another.

 It's as if they are not very certain of what he represents.  Monten said that "Style is the man." So what is Radev's style exactly? If we cover him with this famous phrase, what more will we learn about him? What does his overly cautious behavior express - even though he said things he had been concealing. For example: until now he seemed to hide even from himself that to some extent he is a "product" of the Americans, but on "Panorama" it was already clear when he boasted about being trained for a strategic position in an American military academy, "the most prestigious in the world" - as he put it.

 By the way, it is becoming increasingly evident that the time of balalaika-like figures such as Poptodorova or Pasi is finally over, and our new first cousins in power require people with real authority.

 After the adventure of Radev in BNT, his supporters have decided to launch a powerful attack against the leading Boyko Vassilev. It was beyond any measure, although it is naive to talk about rules on the Internet, one clique would rather be skinned alive than follow some well-known and established requirements, beyond those that the Capo sets for him in each particular case.

 From the numerous comments on Boyko Vassilev's interview, we learned almost nothing about Radev's performance, expectations from him, or even what sets him apart - for now - from the Political Sect, he seems to not exist for the cliques. Is this beneficial for Radev? I am not sure. Boyko did his job, asked all the expected questions, while Radev had all the expected answers, most of them well known to the public. However, playing the role of a saint, which is probably imposed on him by his circle, has never been a winning strategy. And in the end, if he gets tired, he can always take a trip with the first available plane.

Whatever happens, we will witness a great clash - mostly on the Internet. It has already started - immediately after Radev's appearance on "Panorama" - and from the very beginning it is fiercely bloodthirsty. Hundreds of dubious profiles have been activated, practically dead until now. We will be witnesses to incredible speculations and frightening manipulations. Attacks on human dignity will be such that the memory of it will eventually be trampled upon.

 But Radev - as we looked more into him - was supposed to remain a mystery, almost until the elections. As it is known, if you start explaining yourself to your enemies without any time, dig two graves - that's where unnecessary explanations lead - one for yourself.

 But something else is more important: ultimately, what happens to our Anger, which we miss so much and which every authority is trying to bury first? And he is the only thing that keeps us standing.

 Today, Anger, to the extent that it exists at all, is held captive by various abuses - and very often it is not clear if it is actually anger or something completely different. And how far can paid anger go? And will one day we not become a population of spinning tops? We no longer remember at all, that the True Anger - like nothing else! - deserves to be honored with a special day.

 There is even a Pizza Day. Last time they celebrated it on the news, one was spinning a piece of dough over his head - and at some point it landed on his greasy back - no problem, if it tastes good to you, and the important thing is that said dough has its day.

 There is a day for almost everything - but there is no Day of Anger, even though so many things not only make us angry, but also drive us insane.

 In the past, the date June 16th, 1913 was remembered as the "Day of Criminal Madness" - on this day megalomaniac Ferdinand started the Inter-Slavic War, which cost the People 176,000 victims. Long forgotten is the abhorrent attempt by the Coburg dynasty against the Bulgarian people, and even Ferdinand himself has recently been completely and thoroughly rehabilitated - whereas the politicians of the last decades have been conspiring against their own honor and dignity.

 Have we forever forgotten how to get angry? Let's at least pretend that one day a year we honor our memory. Day of Anger - June 16th!
