Статията на българскиThe first major problem regarding the old buildings in Sofia, and a very serious one, is the tendency of their complete demolition due to someone’s private and/or corporative business interests, happening under the skillfully worked out manipulation that these residences are dangerous and so have to be destroyed. Most of the buildings are property of the municipality, and/or property of state. The scheme is quite simple. Here is how I presented it in comics alike frame while commenting on my colleagues’ blog theme on a particular example of the same problem.
Rumors are afloat among minds of any average intelligence that the Owner, the Politic and the Institution are from the Bulgarian Corruption Party (BCP) that use to have the following party program, «I own a monument under a particular status but it does not work for me being so. Hence, it should be removed. Unfortunately, the demolition cannot be executed by straight pulling down, and not because the Community will jump against it (they are from the Neutrals) but because of the forbidding law of which direct breaching the Opposition will benefit to condemn me. So, I shall let it self-ruin (shall remove the guard, shall open the doors and let the small robbers and spoilers in to do the job and then be taken responsible in my place). After the building ruins down, I shall gain a cleared out ground. I can even go further by putting the bug into the Public’s head that old residences are dangerous and thus concrete my actions. Neither the Society will hamper me (they are from the Neutrals) or the others whom I am in the plant with. My only hindrance is the Opposition, but I have found this crafty way to shut their mouth.»
Beside the rumors, the following scene is quite visible to the disarmed eye, of which society have faced so many various examples. The public owner leaves the buildings without management (principally, their legal responsibility) and so the buildings begin to ruin down by themselves with time to the moment they turn practically risky for the public safety. The owner is thus freed to announce them dangerous in the public attention and, having the motive to destroy them, is on to achieve the purpose. Finally, another someone from the scheme is afoot to set a fore-planned new building at the cleared out site. Much profitable and rewarding than restoring an "old coffin", is it not?! This will most probably repay to all involved in some way or another; why to plot a plant otherwise?! Further problematic is that the authorities responsible for the public property protection and preservation are either the ones running or being involved in the mentioned schemes or those acting blind and nihilistic to the problem. What is left, who is to be interested in the city environment, public memory and heritage with the absence of civilian society raising voices and objecting this disruptive tendency instead of choosing indifference?!
Here are few of the numerous examples of cleared out properties, frequently encountered while walking around the city center. Not every one of them pretends to be an illustration of the pointed problem but all state the existing tendency. Plain sites where old buildings used to stand, turned currently and in majority into parking areas or tamped down grounds, awaiting the setting of the planned new buildings.

Wondering when will this cute little deserted kinder garden be turned into an unsightly building ground or city jungle?!
City jungle, like this.
An unsightly building ground like that. Have been witnessing the whole cycle from the scratch, the former old buildings preparation and succeeding demolition; they have recently begun to cover it with gravel, tamping it and most probably soon turning it into the serial parking area. Sure thing is that the site is left in a very miserable condition, unsafe and unhealthy for the walking-by.
