The choice of Rumen Specsov for special governor is a grandmaster move by Peevski and Borisov. Borisov probably approached it with a lot of humor, this is a joke with the PP. Listening to this news, the Bulgarian says to himself: “Here, Batse has dragged them again”. However, nothing depends on Specsov. This was stated by political scientist Petar Cholakov to Nova TV, quoted by novini.bg.
Political scientist Lyubomir Stefanov emphasized: “Decisions are not made in Bulgaria at all. If the hypothesis is true that the US is negotiating with Russia through “Lukoil”, I don't think they will allow someone locally to intervene and jeopardize such a deal. Look at the “Magnitsky” sanctions on whom they were imposed, look at who Borisov is talking to – “with his uncle across the ocean”, as Trump calls it.”
”Things are under remote control and the center of power is not in the Council of Ministers. I think that the conscious interest of Borisov and Peevski is for things to go as smoothly as possible with “Lukoil Neftokhim”. However, I am worried about incompetence from people, not even from Spetsov himself”, He is a party leader without a party”, Stefanov also said.
“This is a power struggle that has been going on since the beginning. Otherwise, who started first – doesn't really matter. This candidacy for Radev's political project has been pretty much overblown. I believe that there are expectations in society, and unofficially, sociological surveys are talking about second place if the elections were held today. Something is being prepared”, Cholakov believes.
He also commented that Borisov continues to give way to Peevski: “Peevski is the backbone of this government. And has Peevski washed himself – he seems to be his own worst enemy.“
