All forms of electoral systems have their place in certain situations. We must be aware that the political crisis cannot be solved by technical means. In Bulgaria, not a single party has been formed for 15 years that would meet the expectations of a large group of society. The process of fragmentation in the Bulgarian political system continues.
This was stated in the show “Face to Face“ on bTV the political scientist Prof. Ognyan Minchev.
According to him, this affects the political scene. There are two ways to stabilize a political system – as many citizens as possible support a political force or a strong leadership emerges to assert authority and try to fix things.
Instead of leaders, we have commissioners and lobbyists who carry out certain orders, the political scientist specified.
„All this vacuum that exists creates confidence in emerging populist projects. Another factor is the new communication technologies that bring people to the cloud, and the type of oligarchic governance structure in Bulgaria calls for a given political product to be supported, the political scientist explained.
„ There is probably a minimal possibility of forming a government. The logic of the situation is one, and the behavior of the actors – completely different. The assembly fell apart due to the lack of responsibility”, Prof. Ognyan Minchev also said.
„The fragmentation that is happening as a result of this political crisis has its reasons. I do not think that what is happening in DPS is because a leader has changed his mind. Inside the DPS there are some serious tensions that are splitting the party. This crisis is of the overall construction, also related to the international situation. It is more likely that Dogan will gain an upper hand in the party because he has control over a large part of the voters, he is one step ahead because he has a large civil society behind him”, the political scientist explained.
