time, effort and possibly host the site bulgaria.indymedia.org, or
alternatively pay a minimal fee to host the site at a third-party provider.

connections with my fellow Bulgarian peace and anti-corporate globalization
activists. I\'m currently in Sofia, Bulgaria and took the opportunity to
gather a group of very enthusiastic young (and not so young :-) Bulgarians
who not only recognize the need but really strive to find (and if necessary
build) an alternative source of media coverage which is lacking in the
current national media space, totally dominated by the neoliberal doctrines.
Most of the people involved now are at the core of the progressive Club for
Prognostics and Sci-Fi at the Youth Center, Sofia, Bulgaria. Atanas Slavov
is a leading individual there. Also, there\'s a group of independent
translators and peace activists, represented by Blagovesta Doncheva who just
joined us. I\'m sure that after the site starts functioning many other
activists and progressive people will join and actively participate.
Bulgaria is a small countr!

> The initial goal is a two-way exchange of alternative issue information, news
and coordination of events. I read the mission statement of the Russian
russia.indymedia.org and I would say that we\'d like to have a 95% similar
approach: the emphasis will be on translating and distributing of
international independent news and issue articles (English > Bulgarian); as
well translating and producing local coverage, globally accessible
(Bulgarian > English). The sense of connection and belonging to the global
progressive processes is a very important long-term goal. At this point, the
neoliberal mantra of T.I.N.A. (There Is No Alternative) to the destructive
processes of the corporate globalization is virtually not challenged and
overwhelmingly dominating the media and the popular consciousness in this
poor Balkan country, which was turned into a wasteland of the IMF and WB
with the neoliberal \"assistance\" of the Western \"experts\". We\'d like to
change this.
