Currently, there are three main political figures in our country - Borisov, Peevski and President Rumen Radev. If we want to understand the political situation, we need to follow the three main political priorities of each of them. This was stated on NOVA NEWS by the sociologist from “Sova Haris“ Vasil Tonchev.
“Borisov has two main concerns. The first is that Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov has started to accumulate quite serious assets, and this certainly cannot but disturb Borisov. But he could come up with a very elegant solution and nominate him for president, which would be a very strong candidacy. On the other hand, this will give him the opportunity to return to the prime minister's post,“ Tonchev explained.
According to him, however, his second problem is more serious and it is the lack of a plan B in case of a confrontation with the leader of the DPS-New Beginning Delyan Peevski.
It is clear to everyone that Peevski has become very strong, nothing in the state happens without his permission. So Borisov must have a plan B, since he would hardly want to be completely subordinate to Delyan Peevski. In this regard, it is no coincidence that he is playing with the urban right, especially with the DB, the sociologist added.
According to him, Peevski should be happy with the current situation, because he is practically an unavoidable factor in Bulgarian politics.
„Peevski will want to finally receive legitimacy and officially enter power, and not, as is the case now, to pull the strings from the side. But in any case, I expect tension to arise between Borisov and Peevski. We know how Peevski treated his “fathers“. In a confrontation, Peevski runs like a tank without brakes, and that is why I will repeat again that Borisov must have a plan B“, Vasil Tonchev argued.
Regarding the president, he stressed that it is more than certain that Rumen Radev will not withdraw from the political scene after “Dondukov“ leaves 2.
He is still young, in the prime of his life. In his second term, he entered politics seriously. In my opinion, Radev will demand early parliamentary elections, because a party project is being built before parliamentary elections, so that he can legitimize himself on the party field. So, if things are not resolved between Borisov and Peevski, the latter will provoke elections in Radev's favor, Tonchev believes, specifying that we could expect early elections in the spring at the earliest.
In addressing the BSP, the sociologist predicts that their participation in the government will bring them electoral losses and in any case it will be in their interest to “renew“ once they leave the government.
