After the resignation of a regular government, there cannot be a new political situation. First, we have a resignation, second, we have huge protests that tell us that the situation is like this today, but we do not know where this social energy will be directed in the coming months. This was stated by sociologist Boryana Dimitrova in the program “From the Day” on BNT, quoted by novini.bg.
We are currently in a whirlwind. We see in the BSP that they are feeling the internal party tremor. This is pressure from within. BSP began to suffer damage even before the government resigned. The question is what policies she will participate in the next elections with, she explained.
There are no significant shifts, but there are small movements that could lead to a serious rearrangement of the electoral picture. There is a certain decline in GERB, not dramatic - within 4%, but these are not a few lost votes. A slight increase in “We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria” (PP-DB), which brings the positions of the two formations closer together. This could lead to a more serious confrontation in the upcoming early elections. The smaller parties-partners in the government - BSP, “There is such a people” - are suffering the most serious damage. (ITN), said the sociologist.
According to Dimitrova, looking back over the years, usually the main coalition partner manages to gather and unite the ranks, the damage has always been to the smaller ones.
What is new is that there is a declared interest in voting by young people. With higher participation in the elections, the relative weight of some parties, such as the MRF-NN, decreases, and the percentage for the parties with the lowest election results also drops, she pointed out.
There are small electoral shifts, not dramatic, and the production of a situation in which no political force will be able to independently form a government, and the political forces with which a coalition can be formed demonstrate extreme forms of intolerance. At the moment, it is not visible how any political force could obtain a majority for independent governance, we also do not see how a more stable coalition could be formed, Dimitrova pointed out.
At the moment, there is no public consensus on the direction of the future coalition around which a stable government could be formed. This is very worrying. From here and there, this crisis in society and the parties should show who this political project is, around which consensus should be sought, this is what is needed and the political forces are on the move, the sociologist explained.
