Neither has there been a stable coalition for a long time, nor are there stable parties in the country. In all party formations there are some internal ferments. The parties are separated from their ideologies and we get confused as to which formation protects what. There are always problems in parties that are united around one person. Ahmed Dogan insisted that Delyan Peevski become co-chairman, and now he is surprised. For the rest of the countries, Bulgaria looks like a “temporary state” – nothing long term. Many countries have gone through periods of political instability, but the problem lies in the fact that there is a problem within the country itself.
This was commented to NOVA NEWS by former Deputy Prime Minister Ivaylo Kalfin.
He explained that after three or four years, Bulgaria will realize that it is lagging behind other countries. “The Bulgarian budget has been in good condition since the existence of the currency board. But we are falling behind, instead of catching up,”, Kalfin pointed out.
„I see no visible left wave in the West. There is a rise of nationalisms and populisms, but it is anything but left-wing. For Bulgaria and the BSP, Cornelia Ninova insisted on leading warriors and separated the party from its ideology. The left must show policies that are aimed at the people, the BSP broke with ideology a long time ago, he also said.
In his words, in order to stop this vicious circle, the parties must sit down and talk about majority rule and a very clear coalition agreement. “This is the only way to end the political crisis in Bulgaria”, believes Ivaylo Kalfin.
He also commented on the upcoming presidential elections in the USA. “If I can think of the antipode of a unifier, it is Donald Trump. He is confrontational, delivered the longest speech in the history of these presidential nominations. The more time that passes, the less likely it is that Joe Biden will be replaced by another candidate. Replacing him at this point would be a double-edged sword. If a lady comes out against Trump, that would be a good hot. Someone who is totally different from him”, Kalfin explained.
