It is New Years Eve. Bulgaria is entering the European Union. At midnight of 31st of December, 2006, Katya Damyanova, a member of the Ultrafuturo group, is writing the words “Happy New Order” onto Anton Terziev’s back. Katya is writing the letters with a hot soldering-iron, Anton sitting on a television. Meanwhile, the lead Bulgarian politicians and foreign VIPs speeches are on TV. It is all about our European Union entering. The spirits are high. Fireworks are displayed, champagne is poured; the nation is celebrating!
The Christian family of united Europe is admitting its prodigal sons!
Happy New Order!
