The 51st parliament has started work, but it is not yet clear who will lead it. However, something else has become crystal clear - everyone wants to play with "We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB), although no one likes them.

Everyone wants with PP-DB. And them?

From the "Revival", who otherwise defined them as "informants" and "traitors" (and these are only the words that can be quoted before 22:00) are calling for a general majority with them against GERB and the DPS(s). Radostin Vassilev's MECH made a similar proposal. Although Vassilev himself left the PP a year and a half ago and accused them of "betrayal".

"The Alliance for Rights and Freedoms" (APS) has already declared its support for a coalition, supporting their proposal for Speaker of the National Assembly Andrey Tsekov, as well as the declaration of a sanitary cordon around Delyan Peevski. The paradoxical position in which the people around Ahmed Dogan put themselves around their own Frankenstein is more than clear.

And Boyko Borisov said it in plain text: he wants a government formed by GERB-SDS, PP-DB, BSP and ITN, although Kiril Petkov and Asen Vasilev are not out of his mouth during the entire campaign, but representatives of the party directly accuse them of having ruined the state.

Hobson's Choice

Thus, PP-DB leaders and MPs find themselves in an awkward situation known as Hobson's Choice. They seem to have different options in front of them, but in reality, whichever one they choose will always be wrong and will harm them.

On the one hand, the refusal of GERB-SDS to support the declaration of a sanitary cordon around Peevski raises very serious doubts as to whether Borisov's party can ever distance itself from "DPS-New Beginning" and the impact of the "phenomenon". On the other hand, Borissov's insistence that he be prime minister in a general government will bring the already shaky anti-corruption coalition into an existential crisis. Because the reason for the emergence of "We continue the change" and the return of the parties from "Democratic Bulgaria" on the political stage, it is actually the same promise - to put an end to the "Borisov-Peevski" model. And while some of their voters swallowed the so-called "assembly" in order to preserve the geopolitical orientation of Bulgaria, the product "Fighting the Borisov model" with Borisov at the helm" is completely unsaleable.

Anti-GERD and DPS coalition with "Revival" and MECH will legitimize these dangerous political players who cast doubt on all the principles professed by PP-DB representatives and their voters - regardless of whether she sways to "Orbanova" or "BRICS" Bulgaria.

Who is the Bulgarian Thomas Hobson?

So the second largest political party is left with the option of hoping that suddenly its opponents - political, ideological and otherwise - will stop wanting to play with it and start playing an open game with each other. But they clearly wouldn't do it, even though they would prefer it, simply because they know such a move would hurt them. It seems as if this situation has been planned for a long time. The question that the PP-DB must answer is: Who invented and orchestrated it? Or in other words: Who is the Bulgarian Thomas Hobson?
