For nearly 8 hours, Bulgaria has had a regular government, the first such since 2022. The topic was commented on by political scientist Lyubomir Stefanov and PR expert Nidal Algaffari in the “Interview in NOVA News“.
“We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria“ failed to keep up with the spirit of the changes and therefore, unfortunately, remained outside. They will currently be in a very idiotic situation – they forged the coalition agreement, together with GERB-SDF, and now they must be in opposition to it“, said Algaffari.
According to Stefanov, it depends on PP-DB whether they will support reason in the program and when someone deviates, to remind them of the philosophical concept. “I do not rule out that at some point, if this coalition is unstable, DB or PP or PP-DB will have to save it“, noted the political scientist.
“Rosen Zhelyazkov cannot have the autonomy to govern the state, because this should happen in the National Assembly, where the state's policy is forged. The largest political formation is the one that must impose its will in some way on the executive branch“, he also pointed out.
“We had witnessed a prime ministerial republic, not a parliamentary one before. The focus was shifted due to one or another peculiarity of the people's psychology in the landscape. Now I see an opportunity for some normalization. The leader of the largest party remains in parliament, that is, the weight will be there. Borisov will be the guarantor of this coalition in the National Assembly“, Stefanov emphasized.
The political scientist recalled that Boyko Borisov had announced that only he could bring together the political parties in a coalition. “Now perhaps this is his job – as a physical guarantor in parliament, where laws are forged“, he added.
