I have not yet seen any changes in my community - but it is absolutely abhorrent to me that there are people who are so despicable in this country.
I honestly hope that this country pulls itself from these depths and re discovers the joys of a multicultural society that can adapt, thrive and grow in the prescence of difference.

What scares her (and I assume her friends) is that they've been through huge political upheaval before. They are all saying this feels exactly the same as when the communism came to an end. The same things are happening. Triumphalism, euphoria, chaos, political collapse, uncorked xenophobia.
In Bulgaria the hatred and polarisation between the Bulgarians and the huge Turkish population was unleashed, there were troops on the streets, curfews, lynchings, organised gang rapes, you get the picture. 25 years later and the country is still a clusterfuck. Political chaos and weakness, endemic corruption, huge organised crime and a very powerful Turkish political party, backed up by Turkey, who want nothing more than to re-instate the Ottoman Empire and 'take-back' part of their empire (Bulgaria, and for that matter, Syria).
Of course our situation now is very different, but you can understand the real dread many people are fearing right now. A 16 year old girl cowering in her own home with nothing to eat, scared to go out for fear of murder or rape.
When communism fell and we all cheered a LOT of bad stuff happened across Eastern Europe and those things you don't forget easily.
No wonder they're scared to fuck.
Hard times indeed.

The reason these things are being reported on now is because it's happening more (apparently) because of a decision made by 52% of the people that turned out to vote in the referendum.
