The political situation in Bulgaria is currently complex and full of unknowns. Against this background, the PP-DB again proposed the idea of an equidistant prime minister after the parliamentary elections on October 27.
Equidistant – myth or reality?
"Each formula offers a different type of cabinet leadership. In the PP-DB formula for an equidistant prime minister, it is not clear what name would stand behind it. Sometimes the name that is mentioned has its own leadership energy and it is not impossible to implement such a government, although I do not believe in the existence of such a figure who is capable of reconciling the irreconcilable", said political scientist Tsvetanka Andreeva in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
According to her, the end of the political crisis will come only when there is a really functioning cabinet.
"An equidistant figure is now like a wooden iron - absolutely impossible to exist. Equidistant is at the same time equally close to everyone else," said PR expert Assoc. Aleksandar Hristov to Bulgaria ON AIR.
He added that society's expectations are diverse, and fixation on one such person could lead to negative consequences.
According to Prof. Hristov, expertise in the political context should be subordinated to a more general strategy, not to individual interests. It also emphasizes the fact that even if experts were found, they could very easily be influenced by various political forces.
Andreeva noted that leadership is a key element that distinguishes the expert sphere from the political one. She gave the example of Boyko Borisov, who has demonstrated that he takes responsibility for management.
Perspectives for the future of management
Prof. Hristov added that a strong social theme could unite various political forces, but at the moment such a theme does not exist. He believes that after the exit from the crisis, provided that a leader appears to systematize a unifying idea, it is possible to find such a solution.
Andreeva predicts that the parliamentary composition will be fragmented, which will complicate the process of forming a government.
"Public fatigue will be cured by governance. People want the state to be governed", the political scientist also stated.
