Our political society is in a stupor and not can produce consensus on nothing. This can also be seen in the parliament,”, political scientist Dimitar Avramov commented to bTV.
“This National Assembly has not yet chosen a chairman, but it is already exhausted. The main political players in it, from whom we expect to create a perspective and a majority, are in fact those who caused a constitutional crisis in a number of aspects, including the part about the official cabinet, he believes.
Minutes before the start of the session in the parliament, the tension in the first row of deputies rose sharply
“How will a failed political elite, whoever they are, turn the wheel with this Constitution? What good is our president anyway when he can't react? How to turn the political wheel?“, he asked.
“The political time of these leaders is running out. The hourglass is upside down and the pile underneath is large. And if there is no consensus, society will find a way – whether through radicalization, whether through crisis, whether through new leadership – this is a secondary issue“, the political scientist also commented.
According to sociologist Dobromir Zhivkov, despite the negative outlook in recent days, the political class is trying to give signs that it is making efforts to overcome this situation.
„ Some basic positions on which to reach an agreement began to be outlined. In this sense, it seems to me that there are impulses”, believes Zhivkov.
„Last time there was no problem with a coalition between GERB and PP-DB. Why should there be a third party? Why DPS got into this construction we have to ask GERB”, Dimitar Avramov said for his part.
„Once again we are faced with the desire to isolate a political force in the Bulgarian parliament. Such a situation also existed in 2021, when GERD fell into real isolation and it lasted for quite a long time. Now one can see how, in order to look for a solution, it is being redirected to Peevski and "DPS-New Beginning". However, we all see the power of Delyan Peevski, and the power that was not won through elections, commented Dobromir Zhivkov.
„Here we have subjugation to the state and we have a very heavy and strong concentration of power that I don't think we have ever seen. This is new and leads to the next stage of what we call a captured state”, added the sociologist.
