/ world today news/ The Bulgarian political veteran Boyko Borisov must begin on Monday difficult negotiations to form a permanent government and become prime minister for the third time. This is what Agence France Presse (AFP) wrote in its article about the past elections in Bulgaria.
After yesterday’s vote, the center-right pro-European party of Borisov GERB finished first in the early elections with 33% of the vote, according to preliminary results cited by the agency.
“The elder Borisov, a former firefighter and bodyguard, neutralized a tough challenge from the Socialist Party (BSP), which is seen as closer to Moscow,” the media said.
The agency also adds that it remains to be seen whether the 57-year-old politician can form a new administration that will remain for the entire term and be effective. The text also states that these are the third elections in the country within four years.
“Borisov, once a bodyguard of Bulgaria’s last communist leader and former tsar, has long dominated national politics, serving as prime minister from 2009 to 2013 and again from 2014 to 2017. But both times Borisov submitted resigning early, first in 2013 after mass protests and again last November after his presidential bid was defeated,” the material said, adding that his attempts at reform, particularly in relation to Brussels’ demands to fight corruption and organized crime have failed.
BGNES reminds that with processed 97.17% of the protocols in the sectional election commissions, GERB received 32.63% of the voters’ votes. According to the data, four more parties entered the parliament – BSP for Bulgaria with 27.10%, United Patriots with 9.08%, DPS with 8.98% and Volya with 4.16%. /AFP
