How does the lack of governmental support and public discussion in Bulgaria affect efforts to memorialize victims of the communist regime?

The effort to memorialize Belene faces significant hurdles, including a lack of governmental support for researching and acknowledging Bulgaria's communist past. While the communist regime has been officially condemned, there is limited funding for research or a museum dedicated to this period. The lack of national acknowledgment is compounded by a societal silence on the topic, particularly within families.

By focusing on semantics rather than the bigger picture, the Left fails to connect with a broader public. This is exemplified by the debate surrounding same-sex marriage where arguments of equal rights are countered by framing the issue as a political manoeuvre, demonstrating the disconnect between the Left's messaging and public perception.
