In the last 30 years, members of the BSP have ranged from communists to social democrats. For the last 5 years, the BSP has lost 2/3 of its electorate. It lost absolutely all the social democrats, half of the socialists and half of the communists. It has lost 100% of its youth vote, watered by its active generation and half of the pensioners' vote. Only those over 75 have become. 14% of these people have left and do not vote for the BSP just because he is its chairman. This is Prof. Mirchev's official statistics.
This commented before "Face to Face" on bTV Kiril Dobrev.
The answer is not only in the personalities, but also in the processes that take place. What happened in the BSP - it is going through a crisis. But it is not only because of Cornelia Ninova. Many new formations have changed on the political scene in the last year - ITN, Maya Manolova. As they faded away, PPs emerged who were to carry the torch of new hope. During this time, the BSP suffered a lot of firing in the back and friendly fire. And many people tried and worked against the BSP and now they are looking for responsibility in the BSP, commented Alexander Simov.
„I feel personally affected by what Elena Yoncheva did, because I have personally invested trust in her. There have been such submarines with addictions all along. The battle with such people is normal. When I meet with voters, they constantly ask me how she went and sat on the lap of the DPS“, said Alexander Simov.
„Yoncheva was a personal proposal of Kornelia Ninova and I know that where she was the leader of lists, she did not receive the support of the BSP leader. On the occasion of ideological purity, how does it feel when the editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Duma” is a former editor-in-chief of “Demokratsia”, Dobrev asked.
Nora Stoichkova was never the editor-in-chief of “Demokratsia”. Since 2016. she is a member of the DPS, Alexander Simov was categorical.
So he has the right to grow out of a chair, Dobrev asked.
„And the Sedesars have the right to wise up and realize that they were on the wrong side. I prefer a repentant sex worker to a member with an addiction," Simov pointed out.
2/3 of these people have not worked for BSP in recent years, that is the problem, he also commented.
A person who cannot unify, but wages war against his own structures, has no way of making a left unification, commented Dobrev.
The problem is not only in Nineveh. The problem is also in all the people around her who call her "well done, comrade" while she does stupid things after stupid things, he also pointed out.
Note that none of the former chairmen of the BSP are in the party. I wonder where the problem is - in the TV or in the tower that broadcasts the signal. How in 130 years of history not a single former chairman of the party is a member. You have completely changed the state of the party, he commented.
The BSP is known for the fact that in some municipalities it casts more votes in internal party elections than it casts in the mayor election. That is, we have more votes for Kornelia Ninova than for the mayor nominated by the BSP for a municipality, he commented.
„The war broke out in structures across the country. No one will let a star rise somewhere. If this happens, it will be flooded with slop to stand in place. During this time, everyone will say to her: “Well done”! I personally promised Cornelia Ninova that I would send her from Positano, Dobrev pointed out.
„It is clear that you have a personal vendetta with Mrs. Ninova”, Simov repeated.
„At the moment, not one of its former chairmen is left in the BSP. I'm starting to wonder where the problem is – in the TV or in the tower that broadcasts the signal”, asked Dobrev.
„One chairman of the BSP was expelled from the other. Nobody excluded Mikhail Mikov. Mrs. Ninova offered him to be vice-president, but he refused. "Six months ago, our current candidate for mayor of Sofia was already a candidate for deputy," Simov recalled.
The conversation turned to the situation in the Metropolitan City Council and the demolition of the Monument to the Soviet Army.
„You are completely wrong. Those who ate their hands together were in the same government and together they exported weapons to Ukraine. There is even an international investigation that will have results, Dobrev reminded.
„Okay, we abstract from Cornelia Ninova, looking at the lowlands, we can make a good campaign”, urged Simov.
When was the last time you went to meet with voters?, Dobrev asked him.
„Left unification is possible. Sooner or later those who are slaves to their egos will come to us to understand each other. He warned that whoever broke away from the BSP either ended up under Borisov's muscle or in the landfill, Simov pointed out. He added that the Left will be reborn.
