To prevent any speculations (you know that otherwise I rarely write about my work here, I haven't even prepared): yes, a few days ago I announced leaving the "Gallup International Balkan". For both the decision to stay ahead of time (after the deal) and to leave now, the decision is autonomously mine. In order to be collegial, to move through the delicate period for the new owners, and to ensure that the agency in which I have invested fourteen years of my life remains on track, in August I stayed with the team.
This is what political scientist Parvan Simeonov wrote on his personal Facebook page. Here's more from his post:
As well as dispelling any malicious insinuations. I think we pretty clearly distracted them with our work. Once again, we did best in the elections, and in our public appearances we left no doubt about our independence. I thank the new owners for this independence and continuity. A while ago I stepped down from management positions in the agency to make way for Petko Petkov - and I wish success to the ambitious team of Borislav Tsekov, Petar Kichashki, Ivilina Aleksieva Robinson and Andrian Boyanov! I will continue to help - as I have been - as much as I can. Thanks for the trust and to colleagues Yuliana Galeva, Yanitsa Petkova and Svetlin Tachev. Thanks also to Andrey Raichev and Kancho Stoychev. I am glad to know that after the departure, a new team takes over the watch - Tatiana Burudjieva, Rosen K. Stoyanov, Mihail Konstantinov and others. See you soon! Thank you all and I look forward to earning your support in the future! I'm going to leave something out, so I'll justsay that it's going to be curious around us.
