A deeply wrong decision. At a time of almost unprecedented parliamentary presence for a single party, when presidential and local elections are coming up in the next year and a half, it is imperative that the opposition remain united if it wants to prevent the PB from seizing all power in the country. This was written by the former Speaker of the National Assembly and current MEP Nikola Minchev on the occasion of the division of the PP-DB into two parliamentary groups in the new 52nd National Assembly.
"Against this background, to point out as an argument the two deputy speakers of the National Assembly (to be supplemented with a double presence in the committees on a parity principle, two more secretaries of the National Assembly and two rounds of questions at hearings) seems infinitely frivolous even for frivolous parties. What remains for parties with the claim to be a corrective to the government. Let me be precise - the political value of these circumstances gravitates around zero. And the frivolous joy of “we got rid of these, we got rid of those“ shows a lack of understanding of who the real opponents, problems and challenges facing the country in the coming years are", he also wrote.
„We can even think about what the next sociological surveys will look like, in which instead of waiting for dynamics around second place, we will stare at the lines on the graph around the MRF. It is unlikely that this is exactly what will inspire the electorate. And this is exactly when the proximity to GERB was perceived as the consolation prize of the elections“, Minchev emphasized.
"I believe that there are people on the landscape who can easily unite the electorate of both the PP and the DB. And even with something on top", the MEP also stated.
