The result is definitely a surprise for all of Bulgaria. This was told to bTV by former Minister of Agriculture Mehmed Dikme.
„I want to congratulate Rumen Radev for the exceptional result. Such elections and such a result have never happened“, he explained.
„I don't know if Radev realizes that he is currently burdened with a huge responsibility from society and the expectations for him are huge. The people are fed up with both Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski. This vote is not only punitive towards them, but is also a vote of last hope“, commented Dikme.
Municipal councilor in the SOS Vanya Grigorova said that she expected the BSP to enter. „What we see at the moment is that the party will most likely not be part of the next parliament. This is very bad news for the left. There will be no left-wing formation in this parliament“.
“In this campaign, Krum Zarkov behaved very well and he deserves respect for the efforts he made for a party that was seriously injured by its participation in the previous government. He had the right messages, although sometimes with clichés“, she believes.
“A few things are key for me - for example, who are the big losers? We see GERB in an unexpectedly small form. This is a huge surprise for everyone. We see 5 or 6 parties below the line“, commented the lecturer at the Sofia University “Kliment Ohridski“ Toni Nikolov.
According to him, with the fall of the BSP, the transition ends radically. “This was the first systemic party of the transition, from which all the problems since the 1990s started“.
