” I hope the voters will surprise us by refuting us. Now is the time to rub our noses in. Unfortunately, if nothing happens in the following days and no one gets angry in the remaining days, we remain captive to the results of another study of ours, carried out for BNT and covering 806 people in a direct and personal interview with tablets and conducted between September 28 and October 6”, commented on “This Saturday” on bTV the sociologist from ''Gallup International Balkan'' Parvan Simeonov.
„It shows that for at least half a million Bulgarians, it can be considered that their vote will be captured by incentives, coercion or pure money. The bought vote can be conservatively calculated to be at least around 200,000 people. If not calculated conservatively – probably two each. 62% in Bulgaria do not believe that the elections will be fair – this is a peak value for the last decade. We have reached an absolute bottom of confidence in the electoral process, he pointed out.
„ Selling their vote is as good a motivation for Bulgarians as any politician telling them anything from the screen,” commented political analyst Hristo Panchugov.
According to the politicians, there is absolutely no debate, and the campaign sinks into reality formats.
Parvan Simeonov also supported the thesis that there are no political companies.
According to him, there are two red lines - one is to isolate Kostadin Kostadinov, and the other is to slowly isolate Delyan Peevski.
"This depends on one person and his name is Boyko Borisov. He has to decide whether he will go with the pro-Western liberals, plus possibly Slavi Trifonov and maybe some peevish influence, or he will balance again, try to escape and go to new elections. "It will be difficult for Borisov because he will have to form a government," said the sociologist.
„If a government is not formed this time as well, there may be an explosion that will lead to a desire to change the system or to new personal models”, he also pointed out.
Hristo Panchugov believes that there are many open doors and possible coalitions.
He thinks that the election may surprise us, but he is not sure that this surprise will be a good one.
"GERB will have much more than the others, but not enough to form a government," the political analyst pointed out.
