After the heavy election loss, the PP-DB are not in a position to be a political leader and to form a government. On the other hand, they can't just throw in the towel because they will be blamed by the voters. We will probably see some effort.
This opinion was expressed to the BNR by political scientist Associate Professor Petar Cholakov.
With such loose majorities in the parliament, the accounts do not come out. Even if a government is formed, the first gust of political wind will topple it like the straw house from the fairy tale, he is categorical.
"PP-DB must learn their lesson. The ride, if not in the state car, then in their purely party limousine, ended in an accident," commented Cholakov. According to him, refresher courses and a change of drivers are necessary.
"PP-DB threw themselves into the arms of Borisov and Peevski."
In the show "Above all" the political scientist made a prediction that "Dogan will control the crisis in the DPS", because his authority is decisive.
"I would call it the Icarus complex – and in Dogan and Peevski. Peevski's ambitions carried him too high, too great was his appetite for power. The big question is whether the changes of leaders are Ahmed Dogan's whims or there is political pragmatism in these demands of his. Peevski set out to spoil this formula that Ahmed Dogan proposed – to have two chairmen."
With both the second and the third mandate, the government would have a very short horizon, according to Prof. Cholakov. According to him, no one will give such a government even 100 days of tolerance, because it is broadcast with very low legitimacy.
There is a depletion in the political forces marching on the field. That is why there is a hunger for new political projects and we see formations like "Greatness" and "Sword", "which raise their heads," he explained.
