Here again the congratlations from Germany:

Dear Pirates from Bulgaria,

we want to wholeheartedly congratulate you on the formation of the  
Pirate Party of Bulgaria.

At the time the Pirate Party in Germany was founded in September 2006,  
there were only 53 Pirates and we had to beg the press, to write  
something about us, to get some attention. Up until the European  
elections in June 2009 we had only 900 members and we had a hard time  
convincing the press of our determination, while many saw us merely as  
a for-fun party.

Today we have over 12,000 members and there is hardly anyone left, who  
would question the seriousness of our concerns, so that even the  
founding events of our smaller geographical
sub-divisions are now getting more press participation then the  
foundation event of the whole Pirate Party of Germany back in 2006.

But not only the Pirate Party of Germany has grown, all over the world  
the ideas of the Pirate Movement are spreading rapidly, so that there  
are now Pirate Parties in over 40 countries and counting. This is why  
the international umbrella organization of pirates (pp-international)  
is going to face its founding next weekend in Brussels, and we are  
looking forward to meet representatives from the Pirate Party of  
Bulgaria at this event.

The attempt to make the politics free from the ideological overloaded  
beliefs, the one that sees the world as a whole, a world where we can  
express our opinions freely, where information is accessible to  
everyone and where we can collaborate without efforts, is the one the  
young people seem to have been waiting for. With affability and  
competence we win more and more people over for our ideas, while we  
try to not to miss out the fun at work.

We earnestly desire that the Bulgarian Pirate Party would have a super  
start and we will hopefully soon welcome you as a strong partner in  
the international pirate family.

Always fair winds and following seas,

Thorsten Wirth, member of the Board of the Pirate Party of Germany
Jan Marten Simons, member of the Board of the Pirate Party of  Germany
Gregory Engels, international coordinator for the Pirate Party of  
Germany
