"The most logical thing is to become the opposition after the "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" elections, which are predicted to lose the most votes," political scientist Teodora Yovcheva said in an interview with "Now". p>
She believes that as an opposition they can retain their potential to be unleashed at the right time because the 200,000 voters they are predicted to lose now will not disappear.
" GERB did not need PP - DB in this parliament either. If we recall the initial impulse a year ago to form a government, it was not with PP - DB. There was talk of an expert government supported by various parties, Yovcheva said. And he added that now possibly GERB - SDS would join forces with a smaller partner, apart from DPS, but it is unlikely that it will be PP - DB.
One of the surprises for the Euro vote is undoubtedly the absence of Maria Gabriel and the fact that the former Speaker of the Parliament Rosen Zhelyazkov topped the list of candidates for Brussels.
According to Yovcheva, at the moment, Zhelyazkov is a popular and relatively approved person and can serve as an overflow of voters - those who would vote for GERB, to repeat the vote for the European list. The absence of Maria Gabriel, according to Yovcheva, is probably due to the fact that she is thinking about a possible different future for her.
Undoubtedly, Elena Yoncheva, who went from being an MEP from the ranks of the BSP, to the lists of the DPS, also stirred up the spirits. However, the question of why she made this decision remains in the realm of speculation. ''Without knowing the internal dynamics of these negotiations, I would assume that Mrs. Yoncheva should have made a rational calculation for a much worse place in the lists of the BSP and a place that is at stake in the DPS, because if the leader of the Movement list chooses not to go as an MEP, but to enter the national parliament, then there is a chance for Yoncheva to keep her place as MEP, said Teodora Yovcheva.
