If it is possible to get out of the oligarchic machine in which Bulgaria is sunk up to its neck, the only way, known since antiquity, is a dictatorship, although I am not a supporter of dictatorship. Geopolitical analyst Valentin Vacev commented on this in an interview with BNR. He cited Greece, Turkey, Argentina and dozens of other countries around the world as examples. He was categorical that the oligarchy has not reformed because it is not subject to reform and that what is currently happening in our country - the political crisis - has been foretold. "The only thing that can be done is dismantling the oligarchy," the analyst recommended.

And he added: "I welcome Peevski's efforts to reform the rascals, but this process will also go through him. Oligarchy destroys human destinies, it is underdeveloped colonial capitalism." Valentin Vacev explained that the political system in Bulgaria itself is in a deep historical crisis, the parties are in crisis and the DPS is no exception. "The Bulgarian political system has severely collapsed. This is the peculiarity of the transition, the authors, the fathers believed that if we take a certain amount of socialist property and distribute it to our people, a bourgeois class will result. This is an idiotic idea. This was the great leap of the Bulgarian nomenclature, for it to become a class. The bourgeois class did not succeed in Bulgaria, there is no real bourgeoisie, just like a wooden horse is not a horse", commented Vacev in the program "12+4".

He said that the reasons for the current political crisis should not be sought in DPS. And he is convinced that the systemic party political structure has failed. "The second task of the transition in our country was to be accepted as equals in the West. But there, no one accepted the poisoned nomenclature as equals", he said.

According to him, there are no particular mysteries in what is happening in the DPS: "This is an old systemic party and it has been solving these problems for a long time. Maybe now is the time to stop quietly solving them. Dogan has a historical merit for Bulgaria, because for 30 years he prevented the Turkish secret services from manipulating the Bulgarian Turks. In everything else, he failed, that DPS will be a liberal-centrist party. Laws apply in Bulgaria - the basic principle is "the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, but they don't increase". There is a gap where there should have been a middle class, and I don't see how this process doesn't affect DPS. Turkish troopers appeared. The difference between poor Turks and Bulgarians is that the former are more patient with Muslim fatalism. Bulgarians tolerate less and less".

Vatsev predicts that the revolution that Peevski is making will split the DPS within a month or two. "I don't trust Peevski that he will lead a real fight against the rascals, he is a rascal himself – an ideal Bulgarian derbey. The time has come for this honorable Bulgarian party to start solving the problems of poverty – the problems of left and right. BSP can't solve it and red slime is left. GERB has solved this problem - it is better to be rich. The battle will end in an organizational split. Such type of parties cannot but divide into rich and poor. For the first time this happened in the BSP and we experienced it with hypocrisy. It was first announced by Stefan Prodev for the red grandmothers. "Objective processes are operating in Bulgaria, this is the natural decay of oligarchic capitalism," Valentin Vacev also commented. Regarding PP-DB's request to postpone the handing over of the second mandate, he is adamant that this is part of the PP-DB's very broad and well-conceived propaganda campaign, "they know how, albeit primitive propaganda".

The geopolitical analyst predicts that President Rumen Radev will not leave "Dondukov" 2 and step onto the political stage, because a politician has not yet been established. According to him, the military are good, responsible people, but in order for Radev to become an established politician, 7 years are not enough for him, he needs 14. Associate Professor Hristo Paunov on the PP-DB proposal: Untraditional and exotic" Yes, this it is theoretically possible for Radev to leave the presidency. But, if he has any of what is called political intuition, he will not rush. There are interested circles in Bulgaria who see their narrow group interest and standing behind the president, who, like a drill, will break through and come out the other side. He is a military man and he is readable, but it is most difficult to become a politician from a military man. He is not yet a fully mature politician. The military needs 14 years of presidency. These are positive and responsible people, you can trust them as a husband, head of a company, but they are not political figures. That's why a braggart Petar Stoyanov was a successful Bulgarian president. Take Plevneliev, he meets all the requirements of Bulgarian political life.

But Plevneliev is a laughable figure. Maybe Radev needs a little more experience, he will probably ask his wife, but if he is forced to enter the political field, he should appear in the political landscape not as a naked presence, but authoritative and convincing. If he is going to take a real part in the political destiny, he must be ready to take part in the most important sacrament of Bulgarian politics - de-oligarchization. Is the president ready to dismantle the Bulgarian oligarchy? If he is ready, let him command! Because people will see hope in him. If he is going to speak in riddles, let him complete a full presidential term", Valentin Vacev analyzes the situation.
