It is a credit to Hristo Ivanov that he resigned as a political leader yesterday, although he at least had logic to do so as the least damage has been sustained. In my opinion, the weight of "Yes, Bulgaria" has increased in the last two years, compared to PP, i.e. with the PP we should have seen a leadership resignation. Political analyst Christian Shkvarek said this on Nova TV, quoted by novini.bg
Hristo Ivanov's resignation was planned. I know that it was being prepared half a year ago, even before the rotation, pointed out Vladimir Yonchev.
So the resignation has nothing to do with the rotation or the election results. As far as I know, Hristo Ivanov believes that the next leader should be born by himself, come to the surface and that he will not suggest who it will be, he added.
This resignation is a very big test for "Yes, Bulgaria". Ivanov is a clean and very practical person. Now what will be the tone from now on, I don't know, Yonchev also pointed out.
GERB has three options from now on. The first is that they don't form a cabinet and we go to elections again. In that case they would fall by another 150,000 votes and that would make them a middle party. The big threat is if Radev appears in autumn elections, and then GERB will not only fall, but will also be halved by one Radev, who, according to sociologists, can get a huge vote. The second option is for GERB to form a cabinet, to put some weak figure in charge, a Brussels apparatchik, comments Shkvarek.
Such a cabinet will last between 6 months and 1 year and we will return to elections from the first option. The third only option is to make a cabinet for 4 years, not to go to elections. However, the cabinet must be magical enough to appeal to the people in order to last a full term. To do so, they need to feel which way the wind is blowing both here and in Europe. At the moment, the era of Meloni and Le Pen is beginning in Europe. This is a hard conservative cabinet, European, and a person with authority should be placed at the top, not some hollow Brussels apparatchik, commented the analyst.
Such a cabinet will certainly be approved by the ITN and most likely the DPS, yes, he added.
