Konrad Adenauer

On Jan. 22, we are celebrating 60 years of French-German friendship! On this day in 1963, then-French President Charles de Gaulle and German chancellor Konrad Adenauer signed the Élysée treaty. This treaty marks reconciliation between our two countries, after centuries of enmity and just 18 years after the end of World War II.

An SPD-led government in Germany has significant potential to sharpen international attention to the problems of corruption in Bulgaria. This could create big issues for former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and his GERB party (EPP), which is trying to find ways to return to power.

July we are entering the Eurozone waiting room, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said, quoted by BGNES.
 
At the end of this year, we will have 17.5 percent external debt. We will finish with over BGN 120 billion GDP, the prime minister also announced.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives secured a fourth consecutive term in office on Sept. 24 in an election that brought a far-right party into the German parliament for the first time in more than half a century, exit polls indicated.
   

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's announcement on Nov. 20 that she intended to stand for a fourth term as chancellor in the forthcoming elections in September 2017 was welcomed many in Europe. If successful in the elections, Merkel will become one of the longest serving prime ministers in Germany, matching the records of Konrad Adenauer and Helmut Kohl.

Germany's Ambassador to Skopje has urged the Macedonian cabinet to make sure that accusations hurled by the opposition are followed by resignations.

Prime Minister Boyko Borisov is the most mentioned figure in Bulgarian media in 2014, shows the joint media monitoring of the foundations Media Democracy and Konrad Adenauer, released on Tuesday.

Borisov was mentioned 3908 times in eight leading Bulgarian media (4 daily newspapers and 4 TV stations) in 2014.
