Democracy? Think again

Bulgaria is being roundly scolded.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab, has slammed the Bulgaria government’s decision to delay the full smoking ban in public places.

Jakab made WHO’s feelings known to the Bulgarian Deputy Health Minister, Desislava Dimitrova, in Geneva in the 63rd session of the World Health Assembly. WHO are also set to send an open letter to the Bulgarian Parliament over the delayed ban.
How very dare a democratically elected body not adhere to rules laid down by the WHO ... who are unelected and entirely unaccountable.

The bloody cheek, eh?
