The inability of parliamentary players to communicate with each other blocks the political process – not just talking, but talking about topics important to society. This is the opinion of the political scientist Georgi Prodanov.
"Whatever the equilibrists are, they show only one thing – absolute powerlessness before the rules we have adopted. The refusal to conform to the rules and replace them with things that work for the moment is the reason for the current state of both parliament and our judiciary, if you will and the country. The fewer the exceptions, the better," he commented to BNR in connection with the impossibility of electing a Speaker of the National Assembly and starting the process of rotating the mandates to form a government.
"There is nothing more than fear behind this talk about the President of the National Assembly – fear of what will happen if we continue to be the same in the next elections", he was categorical.
In the show "Above all" the political scientist commented on a possible meeting between GERB and PP-DB in an attempt to unblock the work of the parliament. He hopes that this will be a public conversation, a substantive meeting, and not another talk about intentions and priorities, which would only continue the pre-election way of communication.
"I sincerely hope this meeting happens, is public and ends in a gorgeous scandal. Each side has been trying to explain for a long time that they are right, without us having the opportunity to hear the other side's point of view at the same time. For me, it would be extremely sobering if on the spot the PP had the bravery to put all these demands, valiantly in the eyes of Borisov, as they say them everywhere, and at the same time Borisov was so categorical in the things that he too speaks everywhere regarding PP. The terms that they set for each other are terms that are said without the other side being present. When they sit down at the same table, I don't think things will remain in this declarative tone that they currently exist in" , said Georgi Prodanov. According to him, precisely from a good scandal it will be possible to clearly see whether it is possible to reach something more than talks between the two largest parliamentary parties.
"I don't expect miracles. I expect we'll just be aware of that from here on out – do they communicate, do they have common priorities and goals, do they have a vision where something more could happen, beyond party talk – things aimed at changing the political situation and creating a government".
The political scientist doubts the possibility of PP-DB splitting. According to him, in the current post-election situation, this is not a rational move. According to him, the other version is to play "good and bad cop" in the coalition. The roles in the PP-DB coalition are very well distributed, he believes and added in this sense:
"GERDs are in a situation where they have to explain, and they are actually offering all kinds of versions right now, running away from the big topic – is it possible to have a government in which Borisov is not the prime minister, GERB is the key political force, and the second political force is PP, which also withdraws its leaders a step back, but a very clear coalition program is agreed, which leads us out of this quagmire, for at the end of wars there are usually not many men left alive of those who remain in them.
Prodanov expressed the opinion that a government with GERB is possible, but without Borisov at the head. According to him, he can withdraw voluntarily and suggest one of the people around him.
"It is a matter of having a management agenda and priorities that are put on the table with a very clear horizon.
And about the role of Delyan Peevski pointed out: "Peevski is in a situation where he has to participate in power, or at least he has to ensure comfort from the power. For me "A new beginning" will continue this logic of behavior of Peevski, which is above all. When a government is formed, regardless of how PP-DB and GERB participate, he will be the first to support them. And he will support them perhaps before they themselves have made a decision.
In his words, DPS-New Beginning will not be able to exist if it is "far from power and if all the hidden agreements that existed during the 12 years of management of GERB and DPS are not in force".
According to him, if he starts governing with clear and transparent methods and decisions, Peevski will fall from power himself.
