It doesn't really matter whether they give themselves another 7 days. The question is whether we will have a government or not, said political scientist Svetlin Tachev on NovaNews when asked whether GERB – SDS will go to the president with a full Council of Ministers, quoted by novini.bg.
In this case, things are shaping up well for Borisov. With this majority, he wins, at the expense of the BSP, which as the main opposition is going over to the other side and will work together. This could be one last dance for them. Borisov likes to squeeze his coalition partners. The question remains about ITN - they are silent. They may come up with something we least expected. From the party that wanted to oust Borisov, they are now on the verge of governing together, Tachev pointed out.
For DPS-DPS, the better option is to support this government. DPS-New Beginning dominates them. This is an opportunity to give themselves some time, a breath of air in the battle they are waging with DPS-NN, the political scientist added. "We see that Dogan is missing, he is not speaking, he is not sending messages - this may lead to demotivation of DPS-DPS voters. What is felt in Peevski is not there. In this clash - in the lack of leadership, this may have a destructive effect. When the split began, I did not expect that Peevski would be the stronger one", commented Svetlin Tachev.
GERB what it gains and what it loses. They implemented their first mandate, managed to put ITN and BSP in a disadvantageous position and took MRF-DPS, thereby strengthening the line of isolating Peevski. GERB fulfills what PP-DB wanted – a sanitary cordon around Peevski. Regarding the Law on the Judiciary – if it is adopted in the hall, they will say "we fulfilled this condition and stopped Sarafov". But despite this, the SJC can resume the procedure, he also said.
"BSP has the opportunity to show that it has a constructive role by being only an opposition. It is clear that there is tension in BSP-OL, there are people who disagree. They are talking about stepping back from red lines. The question is whether anything significant will be achieved. A regular government will relieve public tension, temporarily blunt the political crisis. If they fail to do anything - the greater negative will be on them. If they succeed - they will be able to show their voters that they have done something constructive", the political scientist also noted.
DB managed to escape at the last moment. Their participation would have been like a new historical compromise. And it is not clear whether DB voters would have understood it, Tachev believes.
According to him, such a government was not possible two or three years ago. "The entire geopolitical situation is shifting. These political formations could not sit at the same negotiating table because they had different political views. Now they are in the background", he added.
