Parvan Simeonov on the elections: Will this tension not break out with a new player who behaves more protestantly  - 1

"Many votes can stay at home. The elections will be 2 in 1 and this will stimulate voter turnout. We have reached a dead end, we wonder if this tension, waiting, boredom will not break through some interesting player who behaves more protestantly, commented the executive director of Gallup International Balkan. Parvan Simeonov in the studio of Bulgaria ON AIR.

According to him, Vanya Grigorova is aiming right there, in this breakthrough. There are many people who are against the assembly, Vanya Grigorova takes advantage of these winds, sets the sails and sets off. If there is a protest vote in the country, why shouldn't Grigorova make a breakthrough.

At this stage, his expectations are that the big losers in the parliamentary elections will be PP-DB, who pay the price of the scandal with Zhivko Kotsev, the changes in the Constitution.

"GERB and DPS have not claimed to be clean for years, they have nothing to lose, they have firm support. With PP-DB, the assembly compromise seems greater. It turned out that they prayed for a government and found themselves played and used. They may not even take the second place, from DPS they will give their best, they can explode. "Revival" are explosive. The other option is when their opponents go too far in trying to rub their noses in, if this lynching against them continues, the PP-DB are strong in mobilizing during the campaign," said Parvan Simeonov.

He emphasized that from "Democratic Bulgaria" stand aside and so "We continue the change" takes away the negatives. The sociologist added that nothing new is being observed, just more of what we have been seeing on the political scene for the last decade.
