Ralitsa Simeonova: The controlled vote was ubiquitous. The chance of a government decreases with each passing day  - 1

< strong>The electoral process is flawed and talk of forming a government is secondary and should not be on the table at all. Controlled voting was ubiquitous. We see that the chance for a government decreases with each passing day, said the political scientist Ralitsa Simeonova in an interview with BNR.

"Votes were changed from SEC members in places, the videos show how some people change the vote and our votes go to other political entities,", she argued.

And he pointed out that there are many institutions that are responsible:

"We also bear our civic responsibility, and we must ask the institutions to cancel the elections. – full cashout, requests for partial cashout is an attempt to hide the problem. The fact that the rules are broken should have sanctions. It is clear according to the Constitution, who has the right to appeal to the Constitutional Court to cancel the elections – The Council of Ministers, the President, 1/5 of the People's Representatives, the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor General, they can request the annulment of the elections from the Constitutional Court. But the institutions are passive."
Simeonova recalled that the situation is a crisis, "as this crisis is not manifested only in the lack of a regular cabinet, but is multifaceted.

"The most worrying thing is that we have compromised a fundamental attribute of democracy - the election process is flawed and talk about a government is a secondary issue," Ralitsa Simeonova pointed out.

She commented on President Rumen Radev's appeal:

"Speech is one thing, action is different. He is one of the entities that can appeal to the Constitutional Court, and if he has information, he should do so."

Simeonova is categorical that "bought and controlled democracy is not actually democracy.

"I think that urgent measures are needed by the responsible institutions and to go towards a complete cashing of these elections in order to restore the confidence of the voters,", she said.
