After the rejected vote of no confidence against the government, the political scene in our country is divided between two main assessments - a day of hope and a day of disappointment.
“Today is a good day for society, because we have moved even further away from this political elite, which lives in a parallel reality“, political scientist Kaloyan Metodiev commented on bTV. In his words, the institutions are isolated from the real problems of the people - such as rising prices, water shortages and lack of solutions to everyday difficulties.
Political scientist Lyubomir Stefanov, however, sees the situation differently:
„This is a bad day for Bulgarian democracy. The parties have hit rock bottom and are failing to meet the expectations of the citizens,“ he said.
According to him, the debates in parliament have turned into neighborhood brawls instead of political conversation.
„The parties are behaving like neighborhood drunks late at night. The parties are failing to be on the level of the citizens, these things have accumulated. They are busy with each other and call each other words that we know but do not use. In this way, as they do in front of the cameras, a very bad impression is left. I suspect that they did it on purpose. Both Peevski, Asen Vassilev, and Kiril Petkov. We will still understand their goal“, said Stefanov.
Both political scientists commented on the abuse of security by the NSO, official cars and high salaries.
„In our country, privileges have gotten out of control at the moment and the abuse of cars too, every louse in the state administration is driven by a car from the NSO, ministries and who else, by privileges. Yesterday, the parliament approved an order for 70 new cars for three deputies, a new limousine and a 4 by 4 with huge engines. This thing must end. And in terms of the presidency, and in terms of the government, in terms of ministries, parliament, everyone. The state is viewed as a cash cow,“ said Metodiev.
Both experts agreed that the state has been turned into a fortress, where institutions live in their own world, far from the real problems of citizens.
