Warming of relations, this is how political scientist Ivo Indjov summarized to "Face to face" on bTV the consultations of „Dondikov“ 2 for a new government between „We continue the change – Democratic Bulgaria“ and President Rumen Radev.
According to him, the head of state supported their idea to return to 100 percent machine voting, which is a clear sign.
„As for GERB, it was a very strange meeting. Sending a single person – this is a provocation to the presidential institution. Then the president himself „crushed the onion“ when he started talking about men and women, which gave Sacheva a reason to make something like an “oath of allegiance“ to Borisov“, he also commented.
According to him, it became clear from the two meetings that there will be early elections, the question is when. Political scientist Assoc. Prof. Stoycho Stoychev added that the president has the opportunity to delay the procedure if he decides.
“Sometimes he can delay, sometimes - hurry. It depends on him personally and does not owe an explanation. The elections are inevitable. There will be no work on any new version of the budget, the old budget will be extended for three months, which means that by March there should be an elected new parliament, which theoretically can vote on a new budget, because the extension law is valid for three months“, Stoychev explained.
Indjov interpreted the resignation as a “self-preservation instinct“ of Boyko Borisov and an attempt to distance himself from Delyan Peevski. According to Stoychev, only the mass protest of December 10 is the reason why the “Zhelyazkov“ cabinet will remain in history.
The two political scientists criticized the behavior of the “Ima takvi narod“ deputies. According to them, the BSP's reactions have shown that the left has been “used and abandoned“
