71·6 days agoWhat is with the strange choice for the color scale?
If these people’s governments have anything in common, it is how bad they treat Greeks. It is of little relief that they treat each other’s minorities almost as bad. This is an alliance surviving on money, not on mutual respect.
But I guess you know that pretty well on the dark side :) Hopefully there’s some leftovers of the money for you too. Unfortunately, life on the dark side has always been somewhat miserable for the average supporters.
Don’t think it’s much different elsewhere. There are something like 50 Bulgarians publicly sharing on Mastodon and you can see the numbers for Lemmy on this instance. But we are here, so I guess that’s a start.

So far they don’t, so “would” is not enough.
1·9 days agoRegarding Mussolini, appears that it’s to bad that Italians preferred to hang him with the head down at the end.
More seriously, you’ve probably read about his politics in Sicily and Cesare Mori. However, Italian organised crime is not only Cosa Nostra. Mussolini’s simplistic dictatorial campaign did not account for the fact that organised crime groups were also part of his own fascist party and were using his precise methods to exercise power. His relationship with the 'Ndrangheta was much more grayish.
I think you could find this article (automatically translated) interesting.
The centre was previously involved in rescuing birds affected by the fuel oil spill after a tanker accident in the Kerch Strait in December 2024. “The difference between mazut heavy oil and oil products is that oil products are liquid, they completely soak the feather and skin. This is the chemical burn.”
Environmental experts told the news outlet Kedr that the oil in the recent spill has been much more harmful to birds than the heavy fuel oil, or mazut, that spilled in the Black Sea in December. The Aug. 29 accident is at least the 12th reported oil spill in the region since that December spill.
No one blamed Italy for its crackdown on organised crime, so why should they blame anyone powerful in the Balkans if they tried? It’s just that in the Balkan politicians suppress the judiciary to protect crime. Here’s a bit about the role of the Balkans in global crime networks.
You can’t say Erdogan is not doing his best already… and failing as miserably as one could.
Vucic completely losing it:
People in Serbia should know that the state is stronger than anyone else. It was like that today, it will be like that tomorrow, it will always be like that. The state of Serbia is a strong state, a serious state and a responsible state
Commission officials expressed frustration at conflicting statements from Cyprus regarding GSI’s viability.
EPPO confirmed it is investigating potential criminal offenses connected to the €1.9 billion EU-funded project but declined to disclose details to protect the outcome.
I’d suggest you go to a bigger place, but my thoughts go to the mainland: Athens and Thessaloniki have quite a lively night scene and plenty of expats speaking English.
I do believe there are smarter ways to break a leg
Maybe he thinks he could retire in Moscow? Others like him did it already. https://feddit.bg/post/202908
Heh, depends what do you mean. If it’s clubbing you’re after, I’m not the one who’s opinions count :)
The delegation, which included four Balkan mayors from Sofia, Bucharest, Athens and Zagreb, intended to meet Imamoglu on Thursday to show their support and present him with a “special democracy award” in prison. But Turkish authorities vetoed the visit, and no official explanation was given for the decision.
After being prevented from visiting Imamoglu, the delegation held a press conference in front of the prison, handing the democracy award instead to Imamoglu’s wife, Dilek.
“European mayors are speaking with one voice. We are a force for democratic resistance. We will continue to stand together with our colleague Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. His courage in defence of democratic principles inspires us all,” said Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni, who is also vice-president of Eurocities, an alliance of larger European cities.
Sofia’s mayor, Vasil Terziev, also spoke, expressing the Balkan Cities Network’s support for Imamoglu.
“I stand here as president of the B40 Balkan Cities Network, a network established by Ekrem Imamoglu. The gates and walls of this prison are not only a barrier for one man but also for the will of millions of citizens of Istanbul who elected their mayor,” Terziev said.
He said that Balkan mayors also face judicial pressures and political imprisonment in their own countries. “An attack on a democratically elected mayor is an attack on all democratic institutions regardless of the country. That is why our solidarity with Imamoglu…is a democratic and moral responsibility,” Terziev added.
Apart from Collboni and Terziev, the delegation included Zagreb mayor Tomislav Tomasevic, Athens mayor Haris Doukas, Timisoara Mayor Dominic Fritz, Utrecht mayor Sharon Dijksma, Budapest mayor Gergely Szilveszter Karacsony, Paris deputy mayor Arnaud Ngatcha, Madrid international relations general director Jose Francisco Herrera Antonaya and Eurocities secretary-general Andre Sobczak.
Вече списъкът е малко по-разнообразен, но за съжаление не могат да се добавят хора, които ползват платформи, различни от мастодон. През bridgyfed има доста активност, но за тях ще трябва да мислим друго решение.
Here’s some footage from one, just to give you an idea: https://bsky.app/profile/256bit.bsky.social/post/3lx655a3hxs2n
Cool, the screenshot reminds me of a game I played in the Apple II days. Anyone remember the name of that one? “Age of war” could be pretty close, but I can’t find anything about it online.
