"God listened to the prayers of the Bulgarians" it was the first comment which the president of the Bulgarian Episcopal Conference, Msgr. Hristo Proykov made for SIR, on the occasion of the repatriation of the five Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian physician (naturalized Bulgarian), happened this morning in Sofia. "Today is an Easter day for Bulgarians, because justice resurrected", rejoiced Msgr. Proykov. "The arrival of our compatriots at dawn was a beautiful surprise; we were not expecting them", added the bishop, according to whom the important thing is "that everything ended well; evil was defeated, and I think that those people, who suffered so much, kept their spirits and now find themselves in a decent status, taking into consideration the terrible ordeal they had to go through". "It was really nice that the European Union took so much care of the problem of the Bulgarian nurses also to defend justice. Thanks also to France and these fantastic women, Ms. Sarkozy and Ms. Ferrero-Waldner, who did everything possible for this mission, and without glamour. The rest he concluded is for history, which will judge those who made those poor women suffer so much".
