Taking the leadership seat in Kardzhali by Ahmed Dogan political scientists and sociologists interpret as symbolic of the disintegrated DPS. The experts from "Alpha Research" and "Gallup" believe that the lack of a direct fight in one populated place between Peevski and Dogan is not a surprise despite the requests for leadership from both.
The specialists also say that it may be difficult for them to determine in advance the attitudes of the voters of the two factions in the DPS. According to experts, the entry of honorary chairman Ahmed Dogan as a leader in Kardzhali in the battle for the next parliament is significant.
"This is a significant appearance at the head of the list in Kardzhali, especially since we know that for years this list was traditionally led by the leader of the DPS, that is, it is a kind of request for who most likely represents the Movement for Rights and freedoms", Genoveva Petrova - a sociologist from "Alpha Research" told BNT.
"Purely symbolically he is in a better position in emotions, while legally Delyan Peevski holds the right in the registration", said Dr. Petko Petkov - executive director of "Gallup International".
The experts from "Alpha Research" and "Gallup" they find the non-appearance of Ahmed Dogan and Delyan Peevski as leaders in one constituency to be expected.
"That the literal aspirants to be leaders will not meet in a direct fight means to me that, despite all the requests and ambitions that one or the other has a greater reason to represent the movement, practically in some way not dare to enter this direct fight", thinks Genoveva Petrova - political scientist "Alpha Research".
"They don't appear together for tactical reasons, but otherwise you can see that symbolically it will really be the most interesting in Kardzhali. It is not for nothing that the media focus their attention there, because the current mayor of Kardzhali is from the "DPS-New Beginning" party. will face Ahmed Dogan, who is the symbol of the despatchers in Bulgaria, and it will be interesting and challenging for us sociologists", is convinced Dr. Petko Petkov - executive director of "Gallup International".
Sociologists do not guarantee accurate forecast results around the two DPS factions.
"What we have so far measured as trust is still higher trust among the until recently monolithic voters of the movement towards Ahmed Dogan than towards Mr. Peevski, but on the other hand, as is visible to everyone, the wing around Mr. Peevski has a very strong influence on the apparatus," indicated Genoveva Petrova - political scientist at "Alpha Research".
"These are people with a more traditional way of thinking and their way of thinking is different from, say, us Bulgarians. On the one hand, purely sociologically, they have to choose one side or the other, and the other is a deeper, more profound case, which is also on the agenda with this type of voter, is whether he will even decide to choose, because this type of people have an attitude , when two people fight to let them understand each other, to reconcile", said Dr. Petko Petkov - executive director of "Gallup International".
The fact that Dogan's formation will have only observers in the election sections, and that of Peevski and chairmen, the specialists defined as a lead for "DPS-New Beginning".
