If there are any compromising materials, they will rather be below the horizon - at the local level, in social media. If we expect something in the central media, it will be Thursday or Friday. We have yet to see the effect of the Easter vacation, in my opinion, this will not mobilize the vote, but on the contrary, and of the international situation. If we have to talk about the Middle East - the effect will be to reduce voter turnout, not increase it. I am convinced that there will be lively discussions about the results in Hungary. This was stated by Prof. Rumyana Kolarova in the program "This Morning" on bTV, quoted by novini.bg.
According to her, voter turnout will not reach the level of that in Hungary.
The election campaign is going sluggishly, by inertia. In recent days, conflicting speech has intensified, which seems to me to be blocking the paths to a possible next government, commented Teodor Slavev.
According to him, a disinformation war is spreading in Bulgaria. "The European rapid response mechanism is being activated. TikTok has taken down fake profiles with over 60,000 followers who campaigned for Peevski. A report by independent observers has been released, saying that Radev's campaign has been unnaturally amplified through algorithmic processing - old pages are being taken and used for propaganda. This influences and creates a feeling of mass support for one candidate or another,", Slavev pointed out.
And he added: "On the ground - we see more creative ways of buying votes and influencing the vote. It wasn't lists in hair salons, it wasn't payments in cryptocurrencies, on platforms. What we can take as inspiration from Hungary - is the high voter turnout".
You don't see predatory hatred. The big players play moderately, they refrain. And the small ones play aggressively - they play for lives, they throw all their strength, said Andrey Raichev.
The official government is doing a relatively good job of fighting the fake vote. They play very actively, they play very sincerely, they want to do it and they have some success. They will come close to what Rashkov achieved, who cast almost no votes, he believes.
Secondly - the winner is known in advance. There is no plot about who will win, there is a question of how much. Nothing like what happened in Hungary will happen, added Andrey Raichev.
