#EU#BorderControl#Bulgaria#Immigration#HumanRights: "The official Independent Monitoring Mechanism in Bulgaria - established between the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee, the UNHCR and the Bulgarian Border Police in 2010 - reported 5,268 pushbacks in 2022, affecting 87,467 people, and 9,897 alleged pushbacks in 2023, affecting 174,588 persons.
This was, for the second time, almost a doubling of the figures reported the previous year. Indeed, a recent investigation by a coalition of media outlets revealed violent pushbacks are an “open secret” in Bulgaria.
Strikingly, the Bulgarian authorities continue to deny that these figures are the result of pushbacks. They claim these statistics merely cover "preventions of entry" as a result of increased border surveillance in Turkey."
Big brands such Lidl, Coca-Cola and L'Oréal must stop advertising on pro-Kremlin media outlets in the Balkans, European Parliament lawmakers told the companies.
Global companies get heat for financing pro-Kremlin media in #Serbia and #Bulgaria with their ad budgets.
"Many media organizations that promote pro-Kremlin disinformation often use advertising bought by reputable companies to strengthen their credibility,"
I've recently realized that gamebooks might have been a rare 90s phenomenon in Bulgaria only. While I was growing up, those kept my imagination and passion for writing.
However, based on my discussions, gamebooks don't seem to have been that popular globally.
Thus, my question. Have you ever seen or played gamebooks?
