The rotation of the parliament speaker and the delay in the budget framework have become another episode of the complex dynamics in the ruling coalition.
The stability of power
"There is so much BSP in this budget that at some point the danger of swinging to the real left begins to shine through it. Borisov's drama was not what he called reformatting. His drama is what he said three days later: "The cuties gave and I will give". This could already be the beginning of the end," commented PR expert Diana Damyanova in the studio of "Denyat ON AIR".
She expressed concern about the fact that the state administration continues to live in a "privileged regime", while the private sector bears the main burden of the economy.
Sociologist Dobromir Zhivkov sees what happened around the rotation as "a storm in a teacup" – a demonstration needed to justify Borisov's emotional outburst, but without real consequences for the stability of the coalition.
"We see that stability exists – there will be no elections. Everything is focused on securing resources to close the budget and plan the next one. There is no great dynamic within the coalition," Zhivkov told Bulgaria ON AIR.
Radev and the potential for a new political player
Regarding President Radev, Damyanova saw in his recent public appearances a clear sign of political mobilization.
"President Radev no longer hides that his clock is ticking and that he wants to take the field. We have a president who wants to go out, but they are not giving him elections. We have some rulers who will not give him elections," said the PR expert.
Zhivkov added that it is the future presidential elections that can bring the greatest dynamics to the system.
"If Radev creates a party, it has the potential to seriously shift the political status quo," said the sociologist.
