The more the demand for a “sanitary cordon” tightens, the more the future government begins to depend on radical formations.
The warning was given in an interview for Nova TV by political scientist Tsvetanka Andreeva, who commented on the absurd request of “We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria” to isolate the leader of DPs Delyan Peevski.
It is worse for a government to depend on BSP and “There is such a people” than on Peevski, she added.
Andreeva was extremely critical of ignoring the vote of DPS-Novo Namalo voters, giving the example of the people of Garmen, who even protested in front of the parliament. “You can’t call people phantoms where there is a clear Depesar vote,” she said regarding Kiril Petkov from the PP-DB.
According to her, the question now is whether GERB will form a government with pro-Russian partners, and she gave the BSP as an example. According to her, our country has almost been broken by Russia’s hybrid war, but in these elections too, the public voted in favor of the pro-European parties.
“If they push back Peevski, Dogan and Radev will peek in. But one formation cannot be a guarantee, they are too weak,” added Tsvetanka Andreeva.
According to her, the battle is not only in the National Assembly. “Talking about the presidential institution, we see and analyze it as part of the political tension and forget that it shouldn’t be like that. She is infected with Radev’s personal ambition and project. He is part of the crisis”, explained the political scientist.
“The start of this parliament was so bad that we are not optimistic about its future. Problems recur. If we move them forward in time to the next election, it does not mean that they will be solved. Everything that happened – fragmentation, confrontation, bad tone, if you want this radicalization that started with contesting the elections”, pointed out Andreeva.

European parties should also be approached with caution, as any coalition must consider the diverse perspectives within our political landscape to ensure comprehensive representation and stability.
Interviewer: Good morning, guests! Thank you for joining us today on the world-today-news.com website. We have an interesting interview with two prominent political analysts regarding the recent developments in Bulgarian politics. Let’s start with the possible consequences of the increasing demand for a “sanitary cordon” in the formation of the new government. Tsvetanka, could you provide us with your insights on how this demand might impact the future of the political spectrum in the country?
Tsvetanka: Hi, I’m glad to be here. The idea of a “sanitary cordon” puts pressure on potential coalition partners to distance themselves from certain individuals or parties, which can lead to increased polarization and weaken the overall government. This trend is concerning because it shows a lack of maturity and willingness to work together for the betterment of the country. The more the demand for a cordon tightens, the more the future government becomes dependent on radical formations, which might not have the best interests of the people at heart.
Interviewer: Petko, do you agree with this assessment? Do you think that the request for a cordon is indicative of a deeper issue in Bulgarian politics?
Petko: Absolutely. It’s disheartening to see such a practice gaining traction in our political system. It goes against the democratic values we strive to uphold and shows how divided we are as a nation. Moreover, the focus on personalities rather than policies can lead to short-term gains but ultimately harm long-term stability. Furthermore, it’s worrying to see major parties prioritizing their own interests over those of the public they represent.
Interviewer: Tsvetanka, you mentioned that ignoring the votes of small parties like DPS-Novo Namalo is also problematic. Could you elaborate on that?
Tsvetanka: Yes, of course. It’s crucial to respect the voting preferences of all citizens, regardless of their party affiliation. In this case, DPS-Novo Namalo has a significant following in certain areas, and their voices should not be dismissed. Ignoring them only stirs up resentment and undermines the legitimacy of the election results. Similarly, GERB’s potential partnership with pro-
