/ world today news/ At this stage, no one can assess how serious are the words of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov from today, who said: why don’t we push ourselves and put a woman as president for the presidential elections. It is publicly known among both men and women in Bulgaria how quickly the opinion of the Prime Minister changes.
So what he said today and what will happen in next year’s presidential election are things that are very time-varying. I am personally worried about the words “let’s put” a woman as president. Obviously, Borissov’s idea of ”putting” and not of choice is worrisome. I think that this in some form suggests the way in which the GERB candidates are broadcast. I believe that the shortest summary of his reply to date is that after he once nominated Rosen Plevneliev for the post of head of state, why not now a woman, whatever her name is. Here I also include the Prime Minister’s usual bow to women, because he has long been aware that the female half of our population has a special sympathy for him.
I don’t know how much Borisov is “throwing down a gauntlet” to the current president – it is proper for the head of state to answer this question himself, if, of course, he has the courage to do so. It is too early to say what Rosen Plevneliev’s intentions are for a second term, it is hard to guess. It is also possible that today’s words of Boyko Borisov about a woman presidential candidate are a “smoke screen” to hide his personal ambitions for the post, but it would be quite transparent if it was confirmed not by his words, but by his actions./BGNES
