National Emergency:

Norms and Implementation in Bulgaria 1879 – 1944

Summary/Abstract: The following article deals with the type of national emergency that existed in Bulgaria from 1879 to 1944. It dismantles the communist narrative as superfluous and produced to fulfill the ideological need of the totalitarian regime. Therefore, the text positions the triggering of “national emergency” as imbedded inside the model of constitutional monarchy, established in 1879 and subject to different mutations until its final collapse in 1944. The main point of argument is that only after a vigorous re-reading of the historiographical debate in Bulgaria the term “national emergency” can be interpreted in the context of the recent events of 2020.
