If the issue of the real coalition and the participation of DPS-DPS in the distribution of the resources themselves is not settled, it will lead to their withdrawal. This will largely make visible the simple fact that GERB is significantly more keen to maintain its interaction with Delyan Peevski than with Ahmed Dogan's DPS. This was said by sociologist Kolyo Kolev in the program "Bulgaria, Europe and the World in Focus" on Radio "Focus".
The fourth participant in the coalition is Delyan Peevski and this will become increasingly obvious with the withdrawal of Ahmed Dogan's MRF, the sociologist is convinced. "There is a clear interaction between Delyan Peevski and the government and a statement that he will support this government, and the government itself will accordingly pay for this support with the relevant bonuses for Peevski's formation. The big problem here is to what extent the small formations that participate in the government will come to terms with this formula. De facto they will be something like a fig leaf for the serious coalition that will be between GERB and Delyan Peevski", Kolev commented.
According to him, a huge propaganda campaign is currently being carried out in favor of Delyan Peevski in a number of media outlets, which, according to him, are "financially supported in the necessary way". "Without a doubt, the battle between the two wings of the DPS continues and without a doubt Delyan Peevski is doing everything possible through the state power, state mechanisms and the state budget to establish his party over the DPS-DPS. This is a game that is undoubtedly continuing", the sociologist said.
DPS-DPS is an ethnic party and it owes its stability precisely to this, Kolev noted. "While in Delyan Peevski's party, this main core seems to be blurring. It is gaining some popularity in other segments of the population, among the Roma, but the center is not so stable. Perhaps Ahmed Dogan's DPS will go bankrupt, but this does not mean that Delyan Peevski will become the full successor to that stable ethnic party, the DPS", he believes.
