00:50 Just over 33,000 Bulgarians in Britain cast their ballots. There is no information about any serious violations.
–
00:45 Non-standard candidates and non-standard performances from the known ones. The campaign is behind us, we already see the results of it. However, there were also moments that made even the most obstinate political analysts look puzzled.
–
00:40 Sometimes we forget that politicians are also people who have families, children and grandchildren. Here is what their loved ones say:
–
00:35 A government of the protest parties, nominated by the future 47th National Assembly, is very likely not to serve its full term. This comment was made in the bTV studio by the former ministers Emanuil Yordanov, Mehmed Dikme, Miroslav Sevlievski and Emil Dimitrov – Revizoro.

00:10 What we are seeing is an extremely shattered parliament that will be forced to do – despite its will, a zorlem government. In this way, Prof. Antoaneta Hristova commented on the election results in the bTV studio. According to her, the construction in the parliament cannot be stable.
Assoc. Prof. Tatiana Burudjieva stressed that “it is somewhat logical to present a prime minister in a campaign to imagine people who will take responsibility,” but to present ministers on election night “is not very logical.”
Political scientist Hristo Panchugov noted that activity had declined during the campaign, indicating that the parties had focused only on mobilizing their hard cores. The result was bad for those who twice failed in their requests for a new model of behavior and did not offer anything different on their third attempt.
“When we had young prime ministers, we suffered a lot,” said Assoc. Prof. Stoycho Stoychev, citing the example of Jean Videnov and Sergei Stanishev.
“Petkov, if he wants to be a successful young prime minister, to humble himself, to review the bad experience before him. In a complex situation, he will have to balance between different interests and demands, “he added.

According to her, the voters were deceived again.

The reason for the low turnout can be explained by the presence of many emigrants on the electoral lists, and they exercise their right to vote abroad.

22:20 The low turnout of the “2 in 1” vote is a very strong bell for a problem for all of us – for apathy, for distrust of the institutions. This was stated by BSP leader Cornelia Ninova.
Asked whether she would resign after the election results, she said: “These issues are taken up by the bodies and members of the BSP.
