After more than a year, the National Assembly has elected an Ombudsman. This is the proposal of GERB-SDF Velislava Delcheva, who, in addition to being on the list for a possible acting prime minister, is also a key member of the Nomination Committee for the selection of members of the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Political scientist Assoc. Prof. Petar Cholakov was categorical on “Live Day” on NOVA NEWS that this is “another episode of the concreting of our people”. He still believes that early elections are always lurking around the corner, but they are not coming in the fall, and Borisov is bluffing. According to Cholakov, the GERB leader is a master at sowing discord. It is happening now because early elections are always around the corner, even though Borisov is bluffing.
Peter Cholakov also commented on the BSP's vote against another candidate - Maya Manolova. According to him, there is no intrigue here, because the BSP has put their "head in the bag" to be in power, and Maya Manolova has not been a factor in the party for a long time.
As for the arrest of Varna Mayor Blagomir Kotsev, the political scientist is sure that nothing will be proven, because that is not the goal. He said that the aim is simply to attack "We continue the change" and added that other oppositionists in the places should also be prepared. "Kotsev is being brutally chased like a bear at a fair," Assoc. Prof. Petar Cholakov is categorical. He believes that the actions now are targeted and malicious, to hit political opponents.
