I was going to ask the same but I have a guess: In Bulgaria, you don't feel the government, it doesn't feel like there are laws or anybody cares about laws. It's nice in its own way but also the root of all problems when there are bad actors around. I lived in Turkey, Germany, Bulgaria and the UK for prolonged periods and I can say that I feel most free in Bulgaria. The relationship with the government is transactional and you don't have to deal with the governmnet if you don't want something from the government(or upset somebody and get sued).
