„The formation of the official cabinet looks like a big Bulgarian socialist wedding. One kind, however, is somewhat displeased – PP-DB“, commented the journalist Asen Genov.
He advised not to lose sight of the big picture while engaging in micro-management.
„The problem with the illegal trafficking of drugs and excise goods is a long-standing problem in Bulgaria. We are really grasping at the names: Stoyanov, this one, that one, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a woman who is being transferred from one office to another (note: ed. Petya Bankova). The principle of separation of powers suffers. And in the office – the head of the Audit Chamber became the prime minister, the deputy of the general prosecutor became the minister of justice. The principle of separation of powers has been violated before our eyes, Genov also said.
In his words, the biggest political force in Bulgaria is “They stole my election”. "To me, that's a harmful concept: the underlying narrative is that somebody is going to steal somebody's election. There is a controlled and manipulated vote, but with normal voter turnout and campaigns, it will not be so decisive," the journalist explained.
