The state must have a government, albeit ex officio. Chaos must be contained, though it will be difficult. This was commented by the political scientist Prof. Maria Pirgova in the show "The Day ON AIR".
According to journalist Lyudmil Iliev, Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov feels insecure and is trying to take political actions to keep his post, but he will not succeed, because around him and around Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev "all the negative energy is focused from the outgoing caretaker government".
"We had unfair elections, which were called as such many times, but nobody challenged them from the status quo parties. This status quo will continue with another parliament. It will no longer last because it cannot produce power, regardless of the outcome of the elections," said Prof. Pirgova.
In her words, the parties do not offer anything and do not even have legitimate leaders.
"They are living their last months. Unfortunately, we do not see the political will in the citizens to demand a Grand National Assembly or a presidential republic. "Citizens can no longer stand without government," she emphasized.
According to Iliev, President Rumen Radev has political ambitions, but for now he is implementing them in a hidden way.
"At some point, an open political career will begin. The collapsing party system affects the state and the executive power", the journalist pointed out to Bulgaria ON AIR.
Prof. Pirgova explained that the official government plays an administrative role, but it is politicized, and this, in her words, means that the system is unfit.
"Citizens suffer. The year 2024 is quite decisive from the point of view of changes in world strategies and processes. We have not had a government for three years - just as long as the war has been going on. Boyko Borisov himself does not appear in the light, no one takes any responsibility", added the political scientist.
Iliev noted that people must realize that the state is their responsibility and we must develop civic consciousness in our own country.
"Anyone who comes loaded with mythological expectations does not live up to them, but only feeds the cycle of frustration and disillusionment that increasingly turns people away from politics," he said.
