Balgarianovinite.com Speaking at a conference on the April Uprising here on Thursday, Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) Director General Milen Mitev said: “By organizing discussions on the April Uprising, BTA has done something very important – taking the step towards the people – because in today’s world, the media must take the initiative to connect with its audience in order to be as useful as possible.” Thursday’s conference was the last one in a series organized by BTA on the occasion of 150 years since the April Uprising.
“In order to properly and fully assess what we have today and where we stand, we must understand both other countries and ourselves in a historical context. Only then can we place ourselves within a broader framework and realize the path we have travelled and what we have achieved,” Mitev said further. He underscored that the role of the media in this process is extremely important because they influence the formation of public opinion.
“What we can learn from the participants in the April Uprising is linked to their hope in the success of their cause and their willingness to make sacrifices, which is the foundation of many stories,” Mitev said. He spoke of their faith in the cause and their own abilities. Historical assessment increasingly emphasizes the significance of the epoch-making Bulgarian act – the April Uprising – as a significant event in its own right, as a key link in the entire chain of events leading to the founding of a free and independent Bulgarian state, Mitev told the conference.
National pride must be cultivated responsibly because, just as history is often used and manipulated for certain purposes, national pride is also frequently manipulated and used for various causes, Mitev argued. He emphasized that it is the responsibility of the media and scholars to help build national self-esteem – “not in the sense that we are the greatest, but rather to be proud of our history, our achievements, and our country, and to work to make it even better.” BNR Director General: By Organizing Talks about April Uprising, BTA Took Step towards People 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-04-30 16:04:37 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
