Elections are like medicine - they are neither good nor bad. If not used in the right place at the right time it can be poison. It is always better for Bulgaria to have a regular government. Low voter turnout makes the government's legitimacy very low.

This is what the dean of the Faculty of Law of the Sofia University, Prof. Daniel Valchev, said in the program "Wake up". on Nova TV.

Low voter turnout makes the legitimacy of the government very low. “If there is no incoming legitimacy, it is good to have outgoing legitimacy, i.e. the government to catch up with quality people and quality policy. Whether it will come to that - depends on a certain number of people.

It is always better for Bulgaria to have a regular government. According to him, a consensus will be reached on the formation of a cabinet. “The problem of GERB and DPS is the low degree of trust and legitimacy, not that they cannot find an arithmetic majority. Politics is something different from arithmetic," Prof. Valchev added.

He also commented on the entry of “Majesty" in the parliament. “Bulgarian society is shaken in many ways, and in this sense, a part of the people are looking for their representations in all kinds of strange places. There is nothing strange, this is democracy. They succeeded, they presented some formula that seemed normal to people. There is nothing terrible in this, such cases have occurred several times in the modern Bulgarian history. It is more a symptom that the lack of large, stable political entities that can somehow deny each other, but also cooperate, will create something like this," Valchev believes.

Europe also lacks great leaders who could unite the public energy around them and the Old Continent to move towards something better, added Daniel Valchev.
