The question is who can survive in Bulgarian politics. What happened gives an opportunity to both the parties remaining on the ground and the opposition. This is a great opportunity for “We continue the change“ and “Democratic Bulgaria“ to split. This must definitely happen, it is key for both parties. The biggest mistake is to have a common candidacy for president. This opinion was expressed on BNT by journalist Konstantin Valkov.
“Kiril Petkov was perfectly surviving in politics, breaking all the rules, because he was a favorite of Radev and the American embassy. He hurried to sign off, leaving the sinking ship. The whole thing was an illusionist's show," social anthropologist Haralan Alexandrov said.
According to Valkov, the PP has been warned several times about personnel mistakes.
“Bulgarian politics has turned out to be a harsh place. Where will this electorate go now that Petkov has vacated the seat? Why, without irony, did the most intelligent, educated, active, progressive, open-to-the-world party get caught up in this spectacle?”, added Alexandrov.
