In the archive of Aleksey Petrov there are many more "records" that Peevski's associates managed to get hold of - respectively Peevski. There will also be a new wave of "compromises".
What is the purpose? They do not hide it, that the PPDB will be marginalized to the extent that it cannot offer resistance in the Parliament and that the GERB/DPS can offer "by mercy" power of the willing in PPDB. This is what he warns on "Facebook" Iliyan Vassilev,
That's the idea.
That's what I said and I repeat - for me, there is no option for the PPDB to hold any assembly or anything other than being the opposition and thinking about how to regain influence and support through opposition actions. But I do not rule out that there are new Petar Muscovites in the circles of the PPDB - human nature hides all kinds of secrets, especially in the context of the competition for Borisov - Peevski scolds the PP for wanting to screw up Borisov, Asen Vasilev scolds Peevski for capturing Borisov.
I have yet to hear them clearly state that under no circumstances will they do any assemblies, although it should be implied. I suggest it several times, but there is no reaction.
The government corrupts everyone or almost everyone - I don't believe in all of the PPDB, but I believe in specific people. At least so far, they assure me that they will not give in this time. I do not believe that they will kill themselves - because the second time there will be no pitcher..
If PPDB are not an option for the assembly between GERB and DPS - BSP remains as an option.
Peevski spreads rumors that he meets Ninova regularly. The idea is to squeeze it, including by pumping up the competition on the left as well. But Ninova, after so much fighting from Peevski and Borisov, must be out of her mind to agree to a deal against power.
That is why they are trying to inflate the election results of either Blue Bulgaria or Manolova and Grigorova. Blue Bulgaria in the person of Vili Lilkov and especially Petar Moskov for typical transactional politicians. It is very obvious to them, after they presented the municipal policy at the national level in the manner of GERB. Moscow has long been boring, outside the "right" I have no imagination.
For this, at least for me, the formula of Grigorova and Manolova remains, because that is how Radev enters the combination that exists anyway during the current caretaker government. Radev got along with Peevski and Borisov a long time ago, that's why today's recording, more than a year old, is old news. It's only surprising why PPDB has not criticized Radev recently, especially after his rifts in Yambol. In general, every day there are many occasions for reactions, and bright ones, and they are satisfied with ritual channels and communication.
But even the support of Manolova and Grigorova is not problem-free as a realization, because both Peevski and Borisov need votes for a "categorical" victory, so the transfer they made to Slavi T. at the last moment is a function of the course of the pre-election struggle, as at the end of the day, if they already have the majority for the cabinet, they will give a command.
With this, they are scaring Ninova, that if Grig-Lova enter, they will marginalize the BSP and Ninova and give Radev a platform in the parliament.
ITN cannot play the role of a third party - their fig leaf is short.
They are a boring party in general, which is only supported by Slavi's show - they put on a show, but there is no substance in their politics. People who could talk meaningfully left the party.
The critical question remains - how Borisov will promote an alliance with Peevski and Ninova in front of our Western partners. Follow Malinov's visit to the USA - everything from domestic energy that Americans want is offered wholesale there.
Here, PPDB, instead of taking a principled position that the seventh unit will be built only after proving necessity and profitability, voted for the selection of a contractor and for pouring in the wrong one and a half billion, which will be another "sunk" expenses?!
The guru of the trio - Bo-Pe-Ra Malinov offers future benefits and capacities for the American LNG, which, however, cannot compete with the dumped Russian gas from Turkey - that is, he will buy them a bicycle, but another time. They also offer business for American companies on gas projects, and Borisov and Peevski offer most of the military contracts of great value - /over 10 billion will be spent there for rearmament to go beyond the Ocean/.
Yes, there are types of weapons that we cannot buy from anywhere but the USA, but the maximum part of the money should go to orders of our native industry, including drones.
And there are no long-term strategies, programs and orders. Borisov and Peevski should be able to rule autocratically, without the PPDB, by buying leniency from the US, exactly in the mold in which they received leniency for TurkStream. It is no coincidence that the main actor there is Vladimir Malinov.
I've been in this business long enough to know that Real Politics, cloaked in cynicism, makes this scenario credible enough.
Where is the weak point of this project - in the reaction on the street?
Because instead of going to increase salaries, pensions, to stabilize the energy system, to health care, billions will go to solve personal problems with a deficit of morals and integrity of Borisov and Peevski.
It does not matter if in the end they will forgive their sins, this is unlikely, the consequences for Bulgaria will be consummated, the autocracy will win, the money will find its addressees abroad.
What worries me the most is that they started looking at the embassies as arbitrators in our native political disputes, and that's how we humiliate ourselves. Not as individual politicians - there is no pride there, but as a nation.
