A week after the extraordinary parliamentary elections, the political scientist Stoicho Stoichev and the macroeconomist Evgeniy Kanev commented on whether the political forces are closer to a compromise or is this a visual deception in the “Offensive with Lubo Ognyanov“ on NOVANEWS. “Probably the parties are closer to a compromise, because today they changed the subject and from a dispute about the prime minister it went to some other genre of communication – declaration. “There is such a people” they also have one called “Continuing the Change-Democratic Bulgaria” must accept before receiving the ITN signature. It is interesting that it is proposed to fence off someone in the parliament,” said political scientist Stoicho Stoichev.
According to him, placing “fences” has two meanings – to protect oneself from or isolate something or someone. “In this declaration, I see the second, insofar as the efforts of a parliamentary majority should be in a positive direction, and not to isolate someone”, added Stoychev.
„In the first mandate, I did not hear a single thesis that led me to think that there could be a government. Given the situation surrounding the elections and the wide response from their “honesty”, I don't see a way in which GERB-SDS can first be distinguished from the “Movement for Rights and Freedoms-New Beginning”. This means that the beginning of the formula in the first mandate is GERB-SDS plus "DPS-New Beginning" as support. From now on, 22 more MPs are needed. PP-DB said that in such a situation it would not support such a cabinet, “Revival“ also no. This means that “BSP – United Left“ and “There is such a people” are the only possibilities", comments macroeconomist Evgeny Kanev.
In his words, the second mandate is what the PP-DB is proposing. “A technical cabinet with a neutral prime minister or someone who is not a member of either party. The question here is how to vote, for example, how PP-DB will support simultaneously with “DPS-New beginning”, he stressed.
Evgeniy Kanev summarized two important things - first, that it is impossible to have a government without GERB-SDS. “The second is that it is not possible to have a cabinet with GERB-SDS and “DPS-New Beginning”. The other option around “Revival”, in my opinion, is not realistic”, noted the macroeconomist.
