- #Kozloduy #nuclear plant units 7 and 8 are strategic for country's energy security?

- This project will be completed on time?

- It will be completed within budget?

- Bulgaria (first reactor 1974) has longer experience with nuclear power than France (first reactor 1956)?

Bulgarian nuclear infatuation is nothing but an energy security distraction.

Crucial elections in #Bulgaria

"Current projections of the April elections point towards another stalemate. According to an Alpha Research survey on March 1st, #Petkov’s pro-reform coalition, PP-DB, leads #GERB-SDS by 1% at 26.4% to the center-right coalition’s 25.2%. To break the deadlock, #Bulgarian #voters need to feel convinced that their lawmakers are truly acting in their interests."

Current mood is: keep adding features and delay shipping the first alpha version

When you are zoomed in on a glyph and doing edits this preview minimap can show you how the glyph changes live
