Today we witnessed another ugly scene in parliament. We can no longer list them. Apparently Ivaylo Mirchev is seeking popularity in this way and is jealous of Assen Vassilev for the remarks with which he postponed the meeting of the budget committee. This is cheap PR and I do not intend to comment on it any further.
This was said on the show "The Day Live" on NOVA NEWS by political scientist Prof. Rumyana Kolarova, who commented on the hot political events of recent days.
"It is clear that "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" is not leading the protest. The chaos of the protest was not organized by the ruling party. They did nothing to stop the vandalism. We all remember how the parliament was attacked in 1997, and in 2013 and 2020 there were also such scenes during the protests. You cannot say that the ruling party is directing these ugly scenes. When there is a protest, it is normal for some clashes to occur. You cannot lead a protest and just say - go away, but without offering anything else. It is clear that the ruling party allowed simple things by refusing to negotiate with employers, unions and people about the budget. They have come to their senses now. The idea that protests can cause a change of government is not working. This has not happened since 1997 and I do not see how it will happen now," she was categorical.
"A political crisis is resolved with a dialogue between parliamentary parties and a basic consensus on important topics. I do not understand why the PP-DB do not want to do exactly this now. Early elections are a dead end for Bulgaria at the moment. Apparently Rumen Radev wants to enter the political scene. Let him resign and go out and do work, not just talk. If he thinks early elections are urgent, let him form a party and participate in these elections," commented Prof. Kolarova on yesterday's address by President Radev.
