The government is going and working. Yes, it is fighting a vote of no confidence every week, which unfortunately wastes the parliament's time, but it is working. For me, there is no energy for a mass protest that would bring down the cabinet. The energy of Bulgarian citizens is directed towards other things - prices, transition to the eurozone, summer, vacation.
This was stated in the program "Denyat na Zivo" on NOVA NEWS by the executive director of „Gallup International Balkan” Petko Petkov, who commented on the latest political events.
"The political forces that are in favor of judicial reform tried to put pressure on the judicial system with this protest. For me, we should let the police, prosecutor's office and court work peacefully. This pressure on the judicial system is going a bit too far. Of course, anyone can protest, but let's protest about real problems in the judicial system - for example, about experts. This problem is huge", he gave an example.
"President Rumen Radev is trying to reposition himself in the public space, saying that the protest is fair and criticizing the cabinet again. The president's last weeks have been weak because he lacks ideas and topics on which to actually criticize and structure himself as an alternative. His behavior is a bit intriguing. Politicians should start dealing with real politics, and not insulting and suing each other. For me, there is also no real alternative that would cause early elections. Even if we go to early elections, I don't see how anything will change drastically. A regular cabinet is also important so that we can smoothly transition to the eurozone. Then there will be things that will have to be decided on a daily basis and it would not be a good idea for this to be done by a caretaker government," Petko Petkov also said.
