- PP-DB don’t wish to cope with anybody – neither with GERB and DPS, nor with everybody else towards them
- From the DPS – silence, however they requested the president to be a mediator within the events’ talks
Boyko Borisov went to see Rumen Radev for the primary time in 4 years. This occurred through the president’s consultations with the parliamentary forces earlier than the spinning of the wheel with the mandates for the cupboard.
The assembly open to the media lasted 7 minutes, after which Borisov and Radev spoke behind closed doorways for greater than half-hour. On his approach out, the GERB chief introduced that he would danger a minority cupboard.
For his official look on “Dondukov” 2, Boyko Borisov was accompanied by Tomislav Donchev and Delyan Dobrev. The second might be because of the nice success of GERB within the extraordinary elections in Haskovo, the place, as Borisov boasted to Radev, PP-DB took just one municipal councilor (see beneath). Throughout the 7 minutes in entrance of the cameras and Radev’s crew, Borisov introduced his evaluation of the political state of affairs and predicted elections.
There isn’t a option to kind a authorities. The voters of GERB, who’ve given us such an incredible accountability, don’t wish to bear the liabilities and have another person characterize us. The penultimate and penultimate can’t inform us. Out of the blue, with 68 MPs out of 240 with such majorities and antagonistic talking, I do not see something taking place anyplace besides within the first time period. I do not see the way it will occur with the second, nor with the third one… I am sorry, however this predetermines electionsBorisov mentioned. After which he introduced to the media that he expects PP-DB to “return the gesture” from the “Denkov” cupboard by supporting his authorities. Apparently
Borisov and Radev have agreed to not hurry with the awarding of the primary mandate,
as a result of the GERB chief gave the events 1-2 weeks to suppose, which implies that someday in mid-July, Borisov will go to the president with the candidate for prime minister to take the folder.
The Prime Minister will likely be from GERB,
introduced Borisov. He refused to disclose the title of the longer term candidate for prime minister, however reminded that he himself is not going to be, as a result of he has a fourth time period in extra.
Borisov once more raised the difficulty of the electoral system, as a result of in accordance with him, it isn’t regular for the primary political drive to win with such a lead – greater than 7% over the second and 11% over the others, and there’s neither a majority within the parliament nor extra deputies. Within the vote, GERB received 24.71% and has 68 individuals’s representatives, and DPS has 17.06%, which was sufficient for 47 individuals within the Nationwide Meeting.
This electoral system, which takes MPs from GERB and transfers them to the smaller events, makes it inconceivable for us to kind any type of authorities, mentioned the GERB chief. Subsequently, he expects help from “all accountable individuals who don’t need us to go to elections”, as a result of they’ll give the identical outcome once more, even worse for everybody.
The opposite possibility is to vary the electoral system. You all wish to go to Greece anyway, I particularly just like the Greek electoral system. They tried ours underneath Alexis Tsipras, noticed the chaos that ensued, and colleague Mitsotakis made two fast decisions to revive stability to Greece.
We’re in an analogous speculation, defined Borisov. (Extra on the Greek electoral system – see beneath.)
It’s most sensible to help the mandate of the winner, particularly because the request of the smaller events to assemble a cupboard with their mandate doesn’t correspond in any respect to the truth that he will likely be supported once more by the primary two forces. Residents have clearly informed us that political and occasion egos should be suppressed, mentioned the deputy chairman of the DPS Yordan Tsonev. From the motion
stunned Rumen Radev within the absence of their chief Delyan Peevski
with a name for him to be a mediator of the events and to persuade them how a lot the nation wants an everyday government energy.
That Borisov shouldn’t depend on the PP-DB for the federal government, it additionally grew to become clear to “Dondukov” 2. As soon as once more, their leaders repeated to Radev that they might be the opposition.
With what eyes will Borisov ask for help for a minority cupboardDenkov responded. It was substantiated that the formation made two common governments, and GERB – zero, and after they overthrew each with the DPS, they usually had been first within the elections, it’s their flip to discover a answer.
Gen. Atanasov requested about photographs on the community of snipers in Bankya
Why are snipers guarding Boyko Borisov’s house? DSB chief Atanas Atanasov stunned the federal government consultations with this query. Pictures of males with weapons and bulletproof vests by the GERB chief’s fence in Bankya appeared on-line.
I’ve info when there’s a massive safety danger, however details about the protection of people shouldn’t be disclosed, Radev answered him, however promised to speak to the companies in regards to the matter.
Based on Atanasov, the hazard got here from exterior, however he didn’t give particulars. The final needs a listening to from the prime minister and the inside minister to say whether or not the chief of the mandate-bearing occasion is at risk throughout the federal government negotiations.
The Ministry of the Inside refused to touch upon the topic.

In Greece, a bonus scheme provides as much as 50 extra MPs to the winner
The neighboring electoral system is meant to make sure secure governance
A semi-proportional electoral system is the premise for the fast formation of a authorities in Greece in 2023, when the principle events – New Democracy, SYRIZA and PASOK – refused to work collectively.
Within the “Greek” electoral system, most seats within the parliament are allotted on a proportional foundation in accordance with the results of the vote. Nevertheless, a part of the deputies usually are not really elected, they’re reserved for the primary political drive. Thus, in observe, it’s helped to kind a majority with out the necessity for broad coalitions.
Till 2020, the system offered 50 further seats to the occasion with probably the most votes within the 300-member parliament. In 2016, the then-ruling SYRIZA, led by Alexis Tsipras, abolished the semi-proportional system. Then the Greeks needed to vote for the primary time since 1990 another way, as they vote in Bulgaria – with out bonuses for the primary political energy.
Nevertheless, there was a catch – in the event that they fail to kind a cupboard, new elections are known as inside 40 days after which the bonus system comes into impact. It has already been reformed and doesn’t repair 50 further seats, and the bonus relies on the occasion’s outcomes. If the primary occasion receives between 25% and 40% of the vote, it takes further seats on an growing scale, beginning with 20 and ending with 50 further MPs.
And so it occurred – in Could of this 12 months. within the parliamentary elections, the primary political drive New Democracy didn’t win a majority with out the standard bonus system to manipulate alone. As anticipated, the events didn’t agree on the formation of a coalition cupboard and new elections had been held. In observe, “New Democracy” had no want to barter with the opposite companions, because it was clear that the bonus system can be applied within the subsequent elections – sufficient impetus to kind the primary political energy cupboard.
Already on June 25 – a month later, the Greeks went to the polls once more and the outcome was clear – “New Democracy” of Mitsotakis received 158 seats within the Nationwide Meeting with 40.56% of the vote. Her outcome was sufficient to kind a cupboard with out coalition companions. A majority within the Greek parliament requires 150 seats. The primary opposition SYRIZA got here second, however with a results of solely 17.83%. This gave it 47 seats within the parliament. Due to the massive loss, its chief Alexis Tsipras resigned after the election. The third political drive, PASOK, took 32 out of a complete of 300 seats within the parliament.
The semi-proportional system goals to make sure extra secure governance by giving the primary political drive vital illustration in parliament, whereas nonetheless sustaining the proportional distribution of the opposite events. In contrast to the Bulgarian parliament, the place the brink for a celebration to enter the Nationwide Meeting is 4%, in our southern neighbor it’s decrease – 3%.
In Greece, particular consideration can be paid to how younger individuals vote. Since 2016, the federal government has determined to decrease the voting age from 18 to 17. Thus, Greeks between the ages of 17 and 21 kind a bunch of greater than 435,000 individuals who may hypothetically tip the scales in a single path or one other. For the primary time in final 12 months’s elections, it additionally grew to become potential for Greeks to vote from overseas.
