"We are currently in the process of falling and those who fall, who led, find themselves in hopelessness. Those who observe - society - are confused because no one has given them energy for enthusiasm and perspective. In such a picture you have no way out."
This reading of the post-election situation was presented to the BNR by political psychologist Prof. Antoineta Hristova.
"The big picture is the collapse of political parties. "Political parties are to a very high degree illegitimate", she is categorical.
The political psychologist does not see a successful move for Borisov or for anyone in the political configuration in the parliament.
Even if an expert government is made, it will look weak, hiding behind experts. A GERB plus DPS cabinet will be an "absolute restoration of what the majority of voters are against," Prof. Hristova pointed out. In her words, "everything that will happen from now on is unpopular", and reforms will make them "even more unpopular and illegitimate".
The ITN is still hesitating and considering the trap it is in, noted the political psychologist.
The BSP is not interested in elections now because it does not have a leader, said Hristova, according to whom the party is "in a state of flux".
"It is logical that for a few months he would ask for peace and support some formula."
Patriotic parties will take more in a possible vote in the fall. There will be relocations that have already started, predicts Prof. Antoineta Hristova.
PP-DB cannot win back voters because the people who left left because they are disappointed with PP-DB, not because they are with GERB, she opined. p>
"There are those left who can bear anything. If they split, they may not enter parliament again. DB have already bundled themselves with PP and without them they no longer have a future."
Rumen Radev will always wait, he will wait, but the moment may not come, commented Prof. Hristova in the show "Before all".
"The risk for him is very serious. Every day at the moment works for him until there is a rollover, that is, they do not remember that they have to sit down and play the decision about the future of the state without his general participation. At the moment, the political leaders feel that they will be able to manage the system, at least for a short time. (...) At this time, Radev can also leave. Many people will vote for Radev, he may still be first, but he is not liked enough by the right. Then will he make the big wave, and he wants a big wave."
At the same time, she notes that the development under the head of state gives him the opportunity to play the role of initiator of a round table.
