Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 45: Food Safety Controversy 2

If only for common news, it would have been nothing. Anyway, in the past, although the media reported less, it was not wholly absent.

The point is that the Bulgarian Daily has actually followed up the story, pointed out the purpose of adding mercury to food and the extent of the problem, and detailing its dangers.

It also listed dozens of goods such as cheese, sausages, canned goods, etc., containing large amounts of mercury chemicals. As a result, the Bulgarian people, who were in a state of "happiness", suddenly found that their good life, it seems, is no longer untenable.

Vicki entered the house with joy and said excitedly, "Irina, look what I got back! Good Spanish sausage!"

"What? Vicki, have you read today's paper? Do you know what mercury is? That's heavy metal! Think about it. We're eating the metal inside our stomachs! God, that's really horrible!

Will it cause irreversible damage and even affect our children? Why do you still want to buy..." Irina said tensely.

The same story constantly played out in countless families in Sofia. At one time, the whole of Bulgaria's food that needs to be preserved for a long time is not sold well.

The streets of Sofia were filled with a strange scene, with slightly wealthier families coming out of their homes and throwing away all the food they had bought for long-term stock.

A garbage dump, now a food concentration camp, was cheap to the street beggars.

Naturally, such a story hampered the fortunes of the capitalists and would usher in retaliation. After a few days of throwing feces at the newspaper's door and sending bullets to the editorial office, all of which were considered small stuff, another big story soon occurred.

In the early morning of November 1, an unknown man threw a bomb into a Bulgarian Daily. However, since it happened early in the morning, there were no casualties.

However, this move did not scare the Bulgarian Daily but rather outraged them and angered the public.

When they got the news, the Sofia police provided security for the Bulgarian Daily at once and arrested the suspects. They also began to send people to focus on spying on the capitalists whose interests were compromised.

The next day, the Bulgarian Daily newspaper had a front-page headline with an article "Come on terrorists, we're waiting".

In the article, the editor of the Bulgarian Daily recalls the events leading up to the incident. It is from the initial throwing of feces on the doorstep to the final bomb attack. The bomb attack is again highlighted, which equates rogue capitalists with terrorists.

He went on to say that he and his colleagues are also afraid of death, but at the same time, full of love for life. The Bulgarian Daily will never compromise on the safety of the lives of the Bulgarian people, on freedom of speech, on the moral character of a journalist.

With the release of this article, the entire public opinion was outraged, and they have expressed their support to the Bulgarian Daily. And at the same time, to show their social responsibility, they have joined the campaign to denounce such events.

The issues that have been disclosed have grown, from the earliest mercury content, has expanded to the pigment extracted from coal tar - Aniline Violet, and so on, dozens of large and small types of additives have been revealed.

The issue of food safety has been expanded from the dozen initially listed by the Bulgarian Daily to cover every goods on the market.

Experts and scholars from Bulgarian universities, who suddenly found themselves in a new place of use, have come forward to provide their theories to support these reports.

Some scholars even shouted that Bulgaria's life expectancy could be increased by ten years if they solved the food security problem, adding another fuel to the fire of public opinion.

In the meantime, the Bulgarian food processing business has become a target for everyone. All sectors of society demanded the government develop measures to combat rogue capitalists or "terrorist capitalists", as it were.

Since the Bulgarian Daily newspaper equated terrorists with food capitalists, the term "terrorist capitalists" was born and became used as a synonym for rogue businessmen.

During a call to arms, the snowy winter came for food processing businesses. Many products were made, could not find a sales outlet, and were piled up in warehouses waiting to get rotten.

At the same time, thanks to the labor protection law, the capitalists cannot reduce the number of workers without approval. Under the pressure of public opinion, no one dares to report to the government now. Suppose the workers are not satisfied with the government when the government investigates and leaks out the situation of the factory. In that case, they will not be treated as typical by the government.

The Bulgarian Daily, which the capitalists hate to the teeth and the main mastermind of the bombing trouble, was to be hatred to the bones.

Powerful capitalists are fine. They can bear the loss. However, a bunch of small capitalists suffers. They can only grit their teeth and survive.

The sensible ones are already looking for a way out. They know that things are now so big that if the government doesn't find a few scapegoats, they can't explain to public opinion.

Klaudia Ivan is a capitalist who runs a slaughterhouse in Sofia. He has been on the edge of his seat since the food safety crisis broke out.

"God, this is so bad! Damn Bulgarian Daily! They're all sons of bitches! I didn't offend you, so why bother yourself! And that idiot who dropped the bomb, is he full of shit? Better not let me know who you are, or I will definitely make you regret..."

He may be heard more than once a day now. He is ranting at the Bulgarian Daily for meddling, and of course, at the idiot who dropped the bomb!

Still, Klaudia Ivan had a sharp mind. However, the first thing he did was to appease the workers and then start looking for a way back.

Klaudia Ivan knows very well that the government will definitely have to impose a strict crackdown after such a big incident. It will definitely not be that simple to get through quickly.

As for food safety, Klaudia Ivan is also a capitalist, and, naturally, water-injected meat is standard. Besides, how can the meat in the slaughterhouse be sold out every day? Not a few synthetic additives are applied naturally, and that's what everyone does anyway.

Klaudia Ivan started his entire network of connections, no matter what price he was willing to pay. It was a pity that no one in the government just dared to take up the offer.

Klaudia Ivan knows that this time the trouble is big. If he does not deal with it quickly, he fears that it will be difficult to get out later.

He began looking for a buyer right away and didn't care about the price. As long as someone was willing to take over and could take care of the back end of the problem for him, it was all good.

However, it is now impossible for everyone to get out of the situation in Bulgaria because they are too late, they will jump into the pit!

After all, the food capitalist = terrorist capitalist, the sector can't take care of themselves. Even if someone outside wants to take this bargain, they must also take the "terrorist capitalist" reputation into account.
