Today, Bulgaria celebrates one of the brightest and most fateful moments in its modern history – the Unification of the Principality of Bulgaria with Eastern Rumelia. On September 6, the national consciousness turns back to honor the feat and self-sacrifice that led to this magnificent act, which predetermined the future of the nation.
Despite geopolitical obstacles and a complex international context, the Unification became tangible proof of the strength of the Bulgarian spirit. It is a triumph of the people's will, of military valor, and of the unwavering resolve of thousands of known and unknown heroes. Their courage and self-sacrifice are the foundations upon which freedom and statehood, achieved with years of effort and deprivation, were built.
The historical act of 1885
This historical act was not merely a political move, but a deeply desired and long-awaited one by our ancestors. The events of 1885 not only restored historical justice but also strengthened the self-esteem of the Bulgarian people. They gave them the confidence to take their destiny into their own hands, to stand tall with their heads held high, and to continue to build their future with determination and a will for progress.
A tribute to the memory of all who, with their resolve, made this unification possible. Today, in modern Bulgaria, their work continues to be a beacon that illuminates our path. The message of September 6 is a message of cohesion and unity.
More than a century later, this day reminds us that united and working together, we can achieve great things. Paying tribute to our past obligates us to continue to build the future of our community and of all Bulgaria, following the example of those who once showed that there are no insurmountable obstacles for a strong and united spirit.
