The Pirate party was officially founded in Bulgaria Sunday
piratskapartia.bginforms.

Two party members will travel to Brussels to attend the World Pirate
Conference held between April 16 and 18 with representatives of 45
countries.

The idea to establish such party has been in the works for a year now while
its Initiative Committee began functioning several months ago. The process
of the party’s founding concluded with a Forum in Sofia where delegates from
20 cities and towns voted the party’s code and program and elected its
national leadership.

The party insists that copyrights are revoked because they lead to the
creation of cartels, loss of democratic values and obstacles for culture and
knowledge to reach ordinary people.

Main party principles include: protection of citizens rights, legislative
reform in the areas of patent and copyright laws, fight against monopolies,
making the right of internet access an essential human right, legal
protection and guarantees of free access to information and culture.

In adherence to widespread internet terminology, the party members call
themselves moderators and administrators. The Chair of the Initiative
Committee, Angel Todorov was elected National Party Administrator. Todorov,
along with the member of the party’s National Council, Bogomil Shopov, are
the delegates for the Brussels forum.

The Bulgarian Pirate Party was officially congratulated by the country’s
Green Party, which reminded the new structure about the partnership between
the Greens and the Pirates in the European Parliament.

The Pirates also received congratulation notes from similar formations in
Canada, the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, the Czech Republic,
Russia, Serbia, Luxembourg and Romania while the congress was attended in
person by representatives of the Serbian Pirates Party.
