I don't expect anything new from the upcoming elections. There are slightly different requests in the context of a caretaker government appointed under the new rules, some of which fell to the Constitutional Court, that is, a problem of legitimacy. The requests came from the president, who was more proactive in recent days and gathered, without the prime minister, which was a political assessment, but still all the parties that should be responsible for the order, the conduct of the elections, but also for the possible consequences if people are judged or found to be violating electoral law. The meeting was attended by the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General, which is a signal in this direction.
This is what he told “Focus" the teacher of public communications at NBU Prof. Rosen Stoyanov.
In his words, October 27 is another standard early election, which has become a good practice in recent years in our country, with an even lower voter turnout. "I try to observe in all dimensions the political campaign, agitation or promotion of the ideas of persons and parties in all directions - the digital space, in the country and in the public and media. I sense a lethargy, despondency, and because of the fact that the political parties, due to their pragmatism, bet to the extreme degree on their hard electorates and no one else", emphasized Prof. Rosen Stoyanov.
According to him, the main reason for the lack of stability and predictability for a regular government is the lack of a coalition culture. "Both attempts at “Continuing the Change" and the so-called "quadruple agreement" which was not a coalition agreement but the signing of separate agreements by the victor with three other political entities. And also the assembly we observed did not have a coalition agreement. For me, this is a huge deficit. The big drama is coming mainly because of the supposed particularly fragmented, diverse and motley parliament, which will most likely mean the need for a coalition not between the first two, but perhaps between the first four political forces. This will lead to an almost total impossibility of achieving a balance of interests. And most likely, huge compromises will be sought in any direction, due to the fact that a mandatory regular government will be created. Compromises have the potential to very quickly grow into huge unrest and misunderstanding, split and contradiction between all these parties", noted Prof. Rosen Stoyanov.
