bulgaria’s New Government Under Rosen Zhelyazkov Gains Initial Public Tolerance
Bulgaria’s newly formed government, led by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov,has begun it’s tenure with nearly 60% public support,according to a recent survey by the sociological agency “Measure.” The data, collected on January 16 and 17, reveals a mixed but cautiously optimistic response from the Bulgarian population.
The survey, conducted among 800 adults, shows that 37.4% of Bulgarians accept the formula of the new government, while an additional 21.4% accept it, albeit not firmly. on the other hand, 16.5% rather do not accept the formula, and 20.8% outright reject it. The remaining respondents found it tough to answer.
This coalition government, formed under the mandate of GERB-SDS with the participation of the BSP and ITN, and supported by Ahmed Dogan’s DPS, has achieved initial public tolerance. Though, this support is not overwhelming. as the survey highlights, public acceptance does not equate to trust or approval.The most positive reactions come from the electorates of the participating parties. For others,the sentiment is best described as relief that a government has finally been formed after a prolonged political stalemate. This aligns with earlier reports from Parvan simeonov’s agency, which noted Bulgarians’ expectations for compromise and governance at the end of 2024.
Despite the initial tolerance, the shares of negative reactions are significant. This underscores the challenges ahead for Zhelyazkov’s administration as it seeks to build broader public confidence and address the nation’s pressing issues.
