What does a new social contract mean - a goal set by Rumen Radev. How great is the power of his yet-to-be-created party? Who is most afraid of it and whose cards will he shuffle the most? Against the backdrop of the shifts of „Dondukov“ 2, how important are the final decisions of „Dondukov“ 1 - mistakes or successes?
With an analysis and expert reading of all this in the program „This Saturday and Sunday“ communications expert Alexander Hristov, political scientist Lyubomir Stefanov and journalist Ruzha Raycheva.
„Rumen Radev will shuffle everyone's cards, the question of whose cards will be the most clarified along with his positioning and who he will govern with. At this stage, it seems that with PP-DB, no matter how incredible it may seem to potential voters and Radev, and those that PP-DB have formed around themselves. But still, BSP and ITN are most at risk, there is also a threat to those who have a Eurosceptic and patriotic profile – Radev is definitely courting their profile with his proposal for a referendum on when to enter the eurozone“, commented Ruzha Raicheva.
And summarized – the former president has chosen a difficult path of uniting liberals and patriots into one.
„He knows what he is doing, but he steps carefully“ – this is how communication expert Alexander Hristov described Rumen Radev's actions.
„He knows very well the intensity and expectations that people have of him, and he does so in order to try to unite as many people as possible. I have said more than once – he comes down as a messiah and his messianic behavior requires a focus on talking to as many people as possible in order to unite them. To do this, he needs to find the lowest common multiple, and what that will be, we will see within this week“, he said.
According to him, the communication signals are clear enough – Radev “wants everything“, as much as possible, and for this purpose he needs to “select the right messages and get together with the right people“.
According to political scientist Lyubomir Stefanov, everyone has their own reason to be afraid of Rumen Radev, although “in politics it is not good to be afraid, it is for the brave“.
“A first impression is made only once &ndquo; he did it 9 years ago. And It is currently very difficult to present himself as someone who appeared yesterday on the Bulgarian political scene.
Analysts also commented on the hypothesis in which Rumen Radev's possible future project would form a coalition with “We Continue the Change“, given that a few years ago he called them “charlatans“.
“It is not impossible for PP-DB to get together with those they criticized, but it will be difficult for Radev to explain how he gets together with those he called that“, believes Ruza Raycheva.
