"Sociology gives such percentages as it calculated. It is obvious that there is a new subject on the field, this will increase voter turnout, sociologists do not give PP-DB fewer votes. I think that some of the lost votes will be returned in these elections for sure, even sociology shows such a trend", Vladislav Panev from PP-DB told Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to him, the goal of PP-DB is to gain more trust from voters, so that the word of PP-DB is heard more in the next parliament.
"To resist populism and the leftist ideas that ruled in the last year, especially with the withdrawal of 18 billion leva of new debt, with a deficit of 5-6 percent and more. It is a deliberate mistake on the part of the government that municipalities are given money in this way - on a shoestring. This policy must certainly be put to an end - to choose which mayors we like, which ones obey us and therefore give them money", Panev added in the studio of "Denyat ON AIR".
He expressed expectations that the new parliament will adopt a Budget 2026, which will fix a lower budget deficit.
"There is currently a crisis in the fuel market, the electricity market is starting, because of the war in the Gulf, and if this continues for a long time, it is normal to lead to a larger deficit. Due to the lack of reforms, due to price ceilings, Bulgaria has become a net importer of electricity and at the moment when prices are high, we are importing energy from Greece and Romania", commented Vladislav Panev.
The guest emphasized that a decline in agricultural production in the entire European Union by 10-15% is expected due to what is happening in the Middle East.
"The electricity price ceiling was kept for too long - this led to the draining of the "Security of the Electricity System" Fund and the state energy sector, which is why state energy companies are currently not in a good financial condition", Vladislav Panev also said.
According to him, "there is no evidence that the caretaker government is campaigning or using tools to influence the election results - they have enough tasks to do instead of campaigning".
