Andrey Raichev on the "Petrohan" case: This is a seizure before a big change

"Petrohan" is a big black swan. It is ominous. It began to be used politically and a version that is convenient for political use was required. As most often happens: used against the PP-DB

We need to remember 25 years ago. Looking at the "Petrohan" case, we are witnessing deja vu. What happened shortly before Simeon arrived and swept the political system? They killed a child. Taxi drivers accused the authorities unfoundedly, since the child belonged to their colleague. Mass hysteria and excitement ensued, which almost brought down the government. It turned out that the mother was not mentally well and killed her child. Kostov was not the bad guy. Don't you see the same thing in this case? This is a seizure before a big change. He said this in an interview for "Face to Face" sociologist Andrey Raichev.

“The same reaction with the same polar interpretations, with the same inability and unwillingness to see reality. And with the corresponding consequences”, he added.

In his words, there is a huge intolerance towards “this government that constantly scares”: with COVID, Putin or Trump.

“Petrokhan” is a big black swan. It is ominous. It began to be used politically and a version that was convenient for political use was imposed. As most often happens: used against the PP-DB. After that, some evidence began to come out to support this version. Usually the opposite is done: facts are extracted, and versions are built on them. The order has been turned upside down, obviously for the purpose of political use. Because of this, there is great distrust of presenting facts that are just after the rain hood. There is enormous cynicism in the political conversation over six corpses,” commented political analyst Assoc. Prof. Georgi Lozanov.

Rumen Radev's future in politics

“Radev has three options: bad, less bad and too good. The bad one is to use these slogans to fight the oligarchy and the model, so that behind them he can start changing course and take us out of the Western European orbit, for which he created particular concern by trying to stop the adoption of the euro at 12 to 5. The second, less bad one, is to continue leading us where he is going, but to take action and be the first politician to somewhat deal with the oligarchic model and what we call reform in the judicial system so that corrupt practices are limited as much as possible. The third is that he suddenly not only embarks on a successful battle with the corrupt model of government, but also turns out to be a European and pro-Western politician like Melanie. To say that Putin is an autocrat and a dictator. To say that he is a war criminal because 2 million people were killed. To give a sign in this direction. If this happens, he will enter the textbooks and children will learn about him from a young age”, commented Lozanov.

According to Andrey Raichev, however, the third option is “a fantasy in blue”, including because of the fact that Europe intends to talk to Putin.

“Of course, Radev is a European and pro-European politician. He will not take us out of Europe. He did not want to ban the euro, but to ask the people whether it should be postponed. If you look at what is happening with prices, you will see that it is not without reason”, he added.
