In a greeting on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the Unification of Bulgaria, quoted by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) party's press centre, Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Zafirov, Chair of the National Council of the BSP, the BSP-United Left coalition said: "September 6 is more than a historic date, it is a lesson in willpower, determination, and love for the homeland”. 

He stressed that the strength of the national spirit does not depend on external circumstances, but on a clear cause, direction, and people with a sense of the destiny of the nation. "The Unification is not just an act from the past, it is proof that when Bulgarians put aside their personal interests and stand behind a common ideal, they can achieve great things," Zafirov said.

He noted that the Unification put the fate of the country in the hands of the Bulgarian people themselves. "It is not for nothing that Vazov calls it the 'September Revolution'. Bulgaria awakened, entered history with a bang and proved that it had the power to decide its own future," Zafirov added.

"Today, more than ever, we need unity, to overcome the challenges of the new era and take our destiny into our own hands. I believe that this is possible. This strength has never left us. We just need to remember it," he urged.
