The task is not more complicated than if there were only two candidates - Glavchev and Gyurov. The question is who has what opportunities, connections and lists of people, political scientist Prof. Svetoslav Malinov told "Face to Face" on bTV.
In this sense, the two of them are hopelessly behind. But one less fear is gone - what will we do if no one accepts. And now we even have two camps, not just two candidates. This is good, because there was a time when people were panickingly fleeing from power. It seems like it's better to have more candidates than what there was before, he added.
The task is not easy, despite the fact that there are many "yes", because there are also many unanswered questions. There are many questions that she can take into account – can the candidates work with more people, can they form a team. This was said in the program "Face to Face" on BTV by former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Interior Rumyana Bachvarova in connection with the choice of an acting prime minister by President Iliana Yotova after the meetings with the candidates from the so-called home book that ended today.
Glavchev is the favorite because he already has two mandates. The other key question is whether the cabinet will include people from the current ruling group and those from previous caretaker cabinets, Bachvarova added.
The two also commented on the expected inclusion in the early parliamentary elections with their own political force of the resigned President Rumen Radev.
This big wave that is expected will not be that significant. There will be a shift, because a new party with a leader with high public trust is emerging. But the field in which he can operate is rather left and center-left. There will be some shift, but it will not be as large as predicted by some analysts, Bachvarova pointed out.
With the emergence of such a formation, voter turnout cannot but be greater. The question is who will drop out. The parties that participated in the majority - BSP and "There is such a people" - are closest to the 4 percent barrier. I think that this time the first and second and the first and third will have a clear majority of 120 deputies. If we have a coalition, it will be of two. There will be a consolidation, the parliament will have fewer formations. The distance between the first and second and the third and fourth will be very large and it will be easier to form a coalition by arithmetic criteria, predicts Prof. Malinov.
I think that a third party may be needed for a coalition, but it depends on the voter turnout, noted Rumyana Bachvarova.
Rumen Radev must make some decision about who he will approach. He is close to the Eurosceptic vote, but he has not yet crossed these boundaries. If he does not set some new guidelines, he will remain in the left-populist space. In this way, he will be a much more erudite leader of "Vazrazhdane". The state does not need this and he should make a request for something different, commented Prof. Svetoslav Malinov.
In my opinion, he will hold the anti-corruption, anti-GERB and anti-DPS line. Here he can most easily gain trust from voters and develop his foreign policy orientation, predicted Bachvarova.
In my opinion, Rumen Radev will hide his authentic intentions – he will hide behind anti-corruption rhetoric and will run away from questions about his foreign policy orientation. He cannot be with GERB and DPS under any conditions. "We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria“ have the highest coalition potential, they can form a coalition with both Radev and GERB. At the moment, there is no natural beautiful format for governing Bulgaria, said Prof. Malinov.
