Panchugov: GERB will win the elections with a very serious lead, but insufficient, for a management alternative

It does not matter if it will be composed of 7 or 9 formations. We have seen the behavior of the deputies before the start of the election campaign - it will push voters away even more. This type of surveillance will not result in anything other than a complete rejection of democratic practices, commented the political scientist Georgi Kiryakov

Panchugov: GERB will win the elections with a very serious lead, but insufficient, for a management alternative  - 1

It is possible that a new engineering project will appear that will say all the things that people want to hear and enter the parliament, absolutely unable to do anything. The other option is to see severe radicalization around pseudo-populist projects, and this will lead to a radical governing alternative. It seems that GERB will win the elections with a very serious lead, but not enough to create a governing alternative around it. This is what he said in the studio of "Your Day" the political scientist Hristo Panchugov.
"We can expect more of the same after the early vote. Since there is no change in the structures of the parties, so there is no change in our expectations either. Bulgarian citizens are no longer apathetic, there is simmering discontent. The big question is when the situation will blow up and what that will look like. 70% of citizens cannot tolerate much more of the same. However, there is no practice of self-organization, there is no civil society that would offer an alternative and not just protest," he believes.

For his part, the political scientist Georgi Kiryakov believes that the next parliament would look as bad as it was during the current one. "It doesn't matter whether it will be composed of 7 or 9 formations. We have seen the behavior of the deputies before the start of the election campaign - it will push voters away even more. This type of surveillance will not result in anything other than a complete abandonment of democratic practices. There is very little chance that anything will change. Alternatives to the status quo have crashed very quickly and have been unwilling to make a radical change in himself, including PP. There is a terrifying blockage of the political space, the same faces on the same lists," he commented.
