They return tomorrow from their 33-day vacation, but the main theses of the political season have already been stated.
Bulgaria will increasingly need an alternative. As they say, there is hardly a more frank request to enter the politics of Radev's project than this statement.
Not that Bulgaria does not need an alternative, it undoubtedly does, but it must be an alternative on the right.
Diana Damyanova warned about this on "Facebook".
One that will stop the creation of unrealistic budgets, one that will not exceed possible revenues with its expenses, one that will not "let" the idea of raising taxes into the public conversation, one that is known to with yet another insane increase in the minimum wage, a huge part of small and medium-sized businesses will be put at risk. … Or, in order to survive, they will have to return to the gray sector.
But such an alternative is not at all emerging. Tortured economic voices warn that we are flying down the sleigh of populism, but populism does not give up. Everyone bows to it, because there are no right-wingers in Bulgaria.
That is why there is everything else.
A president whose term expires in less than 370 days and who wants to declare himself as an alternative very, very badly. An alternative - not only to the left, but also to the east, an alternative to the European path, which really manages to discredit itself from its high-ranking officials.
The problem is that the president still does not hit the moment, and when, as he himself says “the alternative is ripe”, then elections are not scheduled.
Therefore, he, the president, will shake the government branch by branch, leaf by leaf and hope for some explosion or “black swan” to push the power and … here is an alternative.
The shape of this alternative is not yet clear, and it is also not clear whether the president intends to personally lead this alternative if an “window for elections” opens or, as he likes, he will appoint some pigeons to represent him.
The myth that the appearance of the presidential project on the field will “mark up” the entire political system seems to be no longer so convincing, and it is also not clear what exactly the president will mark up, what he will tame and what he will take over. But it is clear that elections are necessary for this.
It is also clear that such ask.
The defenders of the lev will also enter the political debate with a very high spirits, those who hate the euro as if it were a living being and who have enormous financial resources to support this hatred.
Their goal is simple, overthrowing this government before entering the euro, a service cabinet that rejects the euro and eternal friendship with the USSR.
Against this backdrop, the leadership of Vazrazhdaneto is scandalized that we were going to make some kind of gunpowder, and not outright Kalashnikovs.
The truth is that, although vague, Europe's program to ensure its own defense does not please either the presidential future /if if/ party, nor Putin's ward Vazrazhdane, nor their close objects in the political fauna.
Torn by internal contradictions, but not such for the left and the right /on this issue as if the PPDB coalition has reached a left consensus/, the political representation of the “good forces” will conduct an active anti-government policy, with elements of civil protest, street pressure and literary masterpieces in the style of “you don't have handcuffs for all of us”.
I just can't understand how the mayor of Varna /whom I personally like/ is a political prisoner, and the deputy mayor of Sofia is not one, and there are no violent support actions held in his honor.
But that's why I'm not allowed into the ranks of the “good forces”, because I somehow fail to distinguish between the indistinguishable.
How would this prepared violent civil protest and possible overthrow of the government affect the euro, which is the main, even super-main priority of the leftists from the PPDB?
What if you listen to what they say – no way. The euro has already been adopted
If you read the constitution – well, by all means! A new caretaker government can simply stop the process.
But the process against the “two pigs”, as the PPDB leadership artistically expresses it, is an authentic protest against the conquered state, and if the euro falls in the process, well - collateral damage.
How those who are against the euro will unite with those who are for the euro and how this will be embraced by the president who is waiting for his moment, who knows how sweet it is to have all the power /from his considerable experience of caretaker governments/ is a matter of arithmetic, first class.
All of them should unite, get every soul wandering in parliament to their aid, all the swordsmen and dogmatists, all the individualists, the arithmetic still doesn't work. Because 3 is greater than 2.
Every 1st grade graduate knows this, even Venko Sabrutev knows it.
And that's why all the money will be in the air, and in the meantime the government and Peevski, who supports it, will be driving their train.
And this train will only stop if they make serious mistakes in the social and economic spheres, mistakes that would lead to authentic social tension.
Can actions such as raising taxes and the minimum wage, which would cause serious damage to small and medium-sized businesses, lead to serious social consequences?
Yes, they can!
They can lead to rapid bankruptcies and liquidation of many businesses /by definition, small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the economy/, high unemployment and insecurity, and all other results of leftist, populist actions.
Here's what we should learn from this GERB, ITN, BSP and New Beginning are afraid.
Because a conquered state is not a good thing, especially one conquered by populism.
