Bulgaria faces early elections without a dominant dividing line in the political space. The risk of political chaos posed by the unclear constitutional framework has not yet been overcome. Public opinion is divided between everyday problems

and national fears.

Government rotation is turning out to be a complex process that will probably defy expectations of ease and speed. GERB hold the political initiative for the first time in 3 years. The opposition parties do not show the capacity to offer an alternative to the government crisis.

Preparations for a government rotation began with complex negotiations for a “package deal” between the ruling parties. The political debate is subordinated to the powerful political attack by MRF politician Delyan Peevski against President Rumen Radev. Suggestions for the non-alternativeness of the government majority fuelled expectations for new political projects.
