Freedom of speech is the greatest achievement of the Bulgarian society in the past 28 years, Bulgaria’s historian and literature critic Professor Mihail Nedelchev told Focus agency on the occasion of the 28th anniversary since Todor Zhivkov’s fall from power on November 10, 1989. In Professor Nedelchev’s words, freedom of speech continues to be under threat nowadays. Mihail Nedelchev also explained that there is a deficit of justice in Bulgaria. On November 10, 1989 at a plenum of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party the former communist leader Todor Zhivkov was ousted from power and from the highest position- General Secretary of the Bulgarian Communist Party after 35 years of rule. The Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party decided to adopt a policy towards a parliamentary democracy and proposed the abolishment of Article 1 of the Bulgarian Constitution, thus lifting the monopoly of the communist party on the government. The amendment was made at the National Assembly on January 15, 1990. The first multiparty parliamentary elections in Bulgaria were held in June 1990.
