The powerful earthquake in Myanmar that killed over 1,700 people has revived global discussion around the late Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga. Called the ‘Nostradamus of the Balkans’, her predictions for 2025 included destructive earthquakes, political conflict in Europe and economic instability. As the year unfolds, her words about a “double fire” and “what is opened cannot be closed” are drawing speculation. Supporters view them as warnings, while sceptics argue her forecasts are vague.
