Paranoia

A tragic incident unfolded in the "Svoboda" neighborhood of Sofia, Bulgaria, as a mentally ill man has been detained for allegedly taking the life of his 94-year-old aunt, according to a report by Nova TV. The motives behind this distressing crime are currently under investigation.

The bodies of two young men were found in the "Lyulin" district of the Bulgarian capital, BTA reports, citing the Ministry of the Interior.

The paranoia and conspiracy theories whizzing around never fail to impress. If anything, they have been even more prevalent during the crisis, and coming from people who were considered "serious."

?[He was the man who] exerted effective control over the fracturing state.

?[He had an] attraction to absolutism.

?[Under his rule he used] the secret police to silence dissent.

?[He had a] worsening paranoia about perceived threats to his personal power and his life.

It gives us a great deal of hope that we have a new batch of mayors and regional authorities, as well as university rectors who represent the voice of reason and prudence and are unafraid to stand up to and clash with extreme elements both in society and in their respective institutions.
