Nothing would change after possible new, successive early parliamentary elections, if the main parties in the highest legislative body do not agree. Alexander Simov, a member of the National Council of the BSP and a former MP from the Centenary Party, commented this to BNT.
“I thought that PP-DB would make some kind of compromise for an office with GERD. Politically, geopolitically GERB and PP are almost the same party. Therefore, the refusal to form a government means that one part of this political space there is interest in Bulgaria going to new elections. However, this, in my opinion, is a very risky and risky bet. The situation is simply such that a sixth election, I do not see what will change the situation and secondly – what will then guarantee that the government will become more possible. What can be done now will be able to be done after new elections,” he said.

“There can be no government at any price, this would mean blowing up the foundations of democracy in Bulgaria. So this time we decided to change our approach – we will ask our members what mandate they will give to BSP (ie who the party could negotiate with). This is not some trick that we thought up now and we are doing it as some kind of exoticism,” Simov referred to internal party democracy in the old tradition, avoiding the direct question of whether the BSP would support GERB.
Alexander Simov, who was also a journalist before his position as an MP, was also outraged by the so-called “press conference” of the coalition “We continue the change” – “Democratic Bulgaria”, which lasted several minutes and at which the leaders of both formations refused any comment from the media. “Their press conference was extremely unsatisfactory. Because, first of all, it was not a press conference. I cannot understand why they refused to answer questions, because there are questions after such a statement. For example – they say: “We will not support a cabinet of GERB or with the participation of GERB.” Ok, that’s your principled position. But alsoquestions disappear – what if an expert government is proposed?”.

According to the red activist the huge share of non-voters was the reason that GERB remained the first political force and an “unavoidable factor”. “All your moral senses start to shriek like alarms and you say to yourself – from 2020 the people’s protest… All the great discontent that happened… And now you can see that the crackdown didn’t happen. It didn’t happen because of a whole a series of fatal mistakes that new parties made in coming in and stealing the popular vote.”
As for another relatively mediocre result of the BSP (compared to their electoral weight a few years ago) – in the primary elections on October 2, Simov believes, The PP had “made a political ambush of the BSP”, taking part of their electorate. Now other political formations played a similar role, he agreed with the opinion of party leader Cornelia Ninova.
