The former deputy from the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and spokesman for the caretaker governments of Stefan Yanev and Galab Donev, Anton Kutev, expressed serious concerns about the future of the political system in Bulgaria. In the program "The Day ON AIR", Kutev stated that the parties in the country are in a severe crisis, which can lead to serious excesses and political instability.
Anton Kutev expressed strong doubts about the possibility of Bulgaria becoming a presidential republic, stressing that the country is severely unsuitable for such a model of government. According to him, the presidential republic could lead to even greater problems in the political system.
He also criticized Delyan Peevski's political influence, stating that despite his skill in political schemes, he lacked the necessary legitimacy to carry them out successfully. “Peevski is very good at what he does, but he lacks political legitimacy,” noted Kutev.
Kutev pointed out that the situation in BSP is not in favor of the party and emphasized its importance for Bulgarian political life. “BSP is an extremely important party for Bulgarian political life. If she had been able to impose her positions on key issues such as education, healthcare and privatization, Bulgaria would look different today,” he commented.
The former deputy drew attention to the leadership problems in the party, and his criticism was aimed at the chairman Kornelia Ninova. “Cornelia Ninova has great responsibility for the state of the BSP. Adverse selection over the years has led to the current situation, and Ninova should have retired years ago,” said Kutev.
According to him, the situation in the party may lead to difficulties in overcoming the 4 percent barrier to enter the parliament, stressing that the unification of the left is more symbolic than real.
Kutev was categorical that the entire political system in Bulgaria is in crisis. “All parties represented in the parliament are in serious ruin,” he stressed, adding that only “Revival“ and “There is such a people” have the potential for sustainability until PP-DB realize their own illegitimacy. He predicted that if the parties do not find mechanisms to deal with the problems, the country may face serious excesses.
In addition to political issues, Kutev also touched on the economic challenges facing Bulgaria. He emphasized that if the country's economy is based only on government procurement, problems with the distribution of resources will inevitably appear. “The question is not which companies win the orders, but whether we can create an economy that works independently and creates a product,” he added.
Kutev expressed support for President Rumen Radev, stressing that he correctly avoids exceeding the powers imposed on him by the Constitution. According to him, the president is aware of his limitations and does not seek wider power.
