Cornelia Ninova resigned as chairman of the BSP a day after that of the leader of "Yes, Bulgaria". Hristo Ivanov.
"I have been watching this conversation and this debate for the last few years, in which the BSP is constantly suffering another decline. It was as if a plateau of around 200-230 thousand votes had been established, but this low voter turnout showed that we can still be delusional. I also listen to the supporters around her, who use another thesis, that everyone has a decline, excluding DPS and ITN, and that this is something normal and not so tragic. The great tragedy is that the BSP has about 80 thousand members, which means that, considering the result, we agreed on two from one such family", said the chairman of the Strategic Institute for National Policies and Ideas (SINPI) Kaloyan Pargov in the studio of " The day ON AIR".
According to him, often over the years, during such declines of the BSP, the internal opposition was blamed. He called this "mantra" a defensive thesis that does not match reality.
"The truth is that the BSP leader should be first among equals. It doesn't have to be single. This thing applies to other parties, but not to the BSP. This decline is also due to the repulsion of many people with potential from the BSP, since if we also review the party organizations, we see that they are becoming more and more sparse, Pargov noted to Bulgaria ON AIR.
The guest pointed out that there are many reasons for the results of the BSP, one of which is the leader.
"When there is a resignation, it must be in writing and entered with an incoming number in the registry. I have not seen such a resignation and I want to see it. According to the constitution at the moment, we have to choose a deputy chairman of the party from among the deputies. After that, he must be empowered in the party with a sufficient toolkit of a ruler, that is, not to be a figurehead and the old man to rule behind his back", the chairman of SINPI was categorical.
