Boyko Borisov has two options for forming a cabinet. The first is more preferred by him - a coalition on the axis GERB-SDS - PP-DB. This means that the two coalitions must reach an agreement in principle on the main aspects of their joint governance, as well as attract at least one more formation. The second is a flexible minority government, but it would have a very short life. This is what he said in the studio of "Day Live" the political scientist Prof. Ognyan Minchev.
"The leader of GERB claims that he is the winner of these elections and he has reasons for this. Party GERB received twice as many votes as PP-DB. This is how he became the leader of the political process once again. Being first carries with it the heavy responsibility of creating a government. Borisov cannot afford the luxury of dividing the parties in this NA, from the point of view of who he should form a government with and against. His only red line is "Revival" - due to serious principled and ideological disagreements with the party. However, a request was made with all the others that GERB will talk", said the political scientist.
He expressed an assumption that there will be clashes between the two factions in the DPS for some time to come. "Peevski earned 2% more than Dogan. The honorary chairman with his background, and the co-chairman with funding and infrastructure. These factors put him in a winning position, but from now on he has a much more difficult task - to legitimize himself as a party leader. This may not turn out to be such an easy task," warned Prof. Minchev.
