Prof. Mihail Konstantinov: The protests wanted one thing, but they brought Rumen Radev  - 1

The emergence of a new political player and the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East give the parties the opportunity to form new ideas and messages in the election campaign. This was commented by political scientist Svetlin Tachev from the "Measure" agency in "Your Day" on NOVA NEWS. According to analyst Professor Mihail Konstantinov from "Gallup Balkan International"; voters want to see decent people and unity is needed, because terrible times await the world.
The two united around the claim that the stakes in the campaign have been raised. According to Tachev, the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov has become "unnecessary" due to entering the eurozone. Otherwise, it would have had the opportunity to serve a full term. The protests have also legitimized Rumen Radev's decision to resign as president.
"The protests wanted one thing, but they brought Radev", noted Professor Konstantinov.

The topic was also commented on that the opposition campaign of the former government is built around gathering 160 deputies. The reason is that this is the number needed to begin changes such as judicial reform - in particular - the election of a new Supreme Judicial Council. A stable majority would also eliminate the need for the thematic majorities that have become fashionable recently, Tachev explained.
Analysts believe that the high voter turnout will strengthen the legitimacy of the next parliament. They wished the caretaker government success in holding fair elections. According to Tachev, "the public request was such. The caretaker government is trying to fulfill it, to act preventively, to limit the controlled vote and to hold fair elections".
