Kolyo Kolev: Most political formations are rightly afraid of new elections  - 1

"There is more dialogue, but is it possible to have a regular government with an anti-corruption focus - so far I have not seen a single government that was not anti-corruption focused. Everyone comes on the wave of fighting corruption, and how they leave is another question. A regular government is possible, but is there a desire? Without a doubt, most political formations are afraid of new elections and rightly so, because it is clear that society is starting to get goosebumps from these permanent elections.

This was said by sociologist Kolyo Kolev in the studio of "Denyat ON AIR".

According to him, this is how disgust towards politics is generated.

"On the other hand, they are afraid that if they create a government, they will pay a high price. You always pay a price to rule, since there are always dissatisfied people. Here the calculations begin for which we will pay more - if we go to new elections or if we form a coalition. The president is not interested in bringing the country into new early elections, regardless of the statements from "DPS-New Beginning. He is doing everything to enable the parties to communicate and find a solution," added Kolev.

Psychologist Dr. Plamen Dimitrov is of the opinion that there are always opportunities.

"You see how many calculations have been made in recent weeks. The country and political players must emerge from this schizophrenic phase. They also have something to talk about from a depressive point of view, because the damage we are causing ourselves in this process is too great for them not to realize that they can make meaningful compromises. I don't know if the main one will be anti-corruption, because that is also being speculated on. Pragmatic tasks need to be solved - budget, the distribution of important positions... You see that the president also gives them a lot of time", he emphasized on the air of Bulgaria ON AIR.

Kolev was laconic that politics is not done with declarations.

"Politics is done by creating a government, the necessary conditions for certain actions to be carried out. Otherwise, every thief will sign a declaration that he will never steal. When corruption is among our people - it is called business, and when it is among foreign people - it is monstrous and terrible. A government must solve real problems", the sociologist pointed out.

Dr. Dimitrov believes that we need results in many areas.

"The victim is trust. The point to which it has fallen is negative values. This should be a common signal light, because trust will hit its lowest point and we will have more fragmentation, despite the ambition of many of our politicians," the guest also said.

According to Kolev, the prime minister cannot be equidistant.

"They have said words upon words and now they cannot make a real move - searching for a form of agreement, searching for a form of government. Why are you going to these elections if you are not going to participate in government? They have become slaves to their own talk, they have fallen into this trap," the sociologist commented.
