Dangerous Posts

According to The New York Herald the post of a Bulgarian Cabinet Minister is the most dangerous in the world. "Since 1912," says the Herald, "appointment to become a Minister has been equivalent to a death sentence."

Statistics: Since 1911, 86 Ministers have held office. Of these, five were killed, 64 imprisoned, eight exiled. Only nine lasted through their terms of office with their lives and liberties intact.

The late Stambuliski Cabinet holds the record for political persecution, with two dead, 14 imprisoned, two exiled.
