The Bulgarian has shown that he has common sense. When we analyze the rise of radical right-wing anti-democratic populist formations in Europe, Bulgaria is quite restrained. This was said in the program "Metronome" on Radio "Focus" by the chairman of the Bulgarian Association for Political Science, Prof. Rumyana Kolarova.
"Undoubtedly, everywhere in the world there is a retreat of democracy, processes of autocratization and many other ways I can describe what is happening. Bulgaria is not among the most severe cases. On the contrary, Bulgaria is among the cases where there are grounds for optimism", she was categorical.
In her words, problems in the Bulgarian electoral process will be overcome through Regional Counting Centers. "The Election Commission should not count more. This is categorical. Not only does election fraud pass through them, but also the entire clientelism - the entire controlled and bought vote", said Prof. Kolarova.
And she added: "Bulgarian parties are not mass, Bulgarian parties are boutique. They are even organized to a very large extent through some kind of social networks and digital communications. But when you have a much smaller number of regional counting centers, no party can blame the others if the process is not controlled, and it will bear direct political responsibility for the fairness of the process".
